NAME

       Prometheus - Prometheus output.

SYNOPSIS

       dsc-datatool --output ";Prometheus;<options...>"

DESCRIPTION

       This output generates Prometheus importable output to stdout or to a specified file.

   Prometheus' node_exporter
       This  output  can  be  used  together  with  Prometheus'  node_exporter's  Textfile Collector to automate
       statistics gathering but some specific setup and requirements must be meet.

       You must hide the timestamp with option timestamp=hide  because  timestamps  are  not  supported  by  the
       Textfile Collector.

       You  must  make  sure  only  one XML file from a server+node combination is processed at a time.  Because
       otherwise you will get multiple data point for the same metric and this will  generate  errors  from  the
       Textfile Collector, since it does not support timestamps and cannot separate the measurements.

       You  must make sure that only one file (per server+node combo) is generated for the Textfile Collector to
       read, and it should be the same between runs.  See Textfile Collectors documentation how  to  setup  that
       atomically.

OPTIONS

       timestamp=[hide|start|stop]
              Choose  which  timestamp  from  the  dataset  to  use in the Prometheus output to specify when the
              metrics took place.

              Default to start timestamp.

       file=<filename>
              Specify a file to output to instead of stdout.

       append If given, the output will be appended to the file specified rather then overwritten.

       prefix=<string>
              Use the given string as prefix on all metric names.
