Configuring Prometheus

Healthchecks.io supports exporting metrics and check statuses to Prometheus, for use with Grafana.

You can generate the metrics export endpoint by going to your project settings (last tab up top) and clicking "Create API Keys". You will then see the link to the prometheus endpoint, which looks like this:

https://healthchecks.io/projects/45sd78-eeee-dddd-8888-b25a9887ecfd/metrics/NXyGzks4s8xcF1J-wzoaioyoqXIANGD0

Update the prometheus.yml

You can take that link and add it to the prometheus config:

  - job_name: "healthchecks"
    scrape_interval: 60s
    scheme: https
    metrics_path: /projects/45sd78-eeee-dddd-8888-b25a9887ecfd/metrics/NXyGzks4s8xcF1J-wzoaioyoqXIANGD0
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["healthchecks.io"]

Notice how we split up the URL and paste in the scheme, domain, and path separately.

Reload promethus and your changes should be live, coming in under the hc_ prefix.
