prometheus-filter-proxy

This tool provides a Prometheus-style HTTP API, rewrites all incoming PromQL queries and forwards them to an upstream Prometheus server.

Features

prometheus-filter-proxy sits between a Prometheus server and a Prometheus API consumer such as Grafana. Instead of pointing Grafana to one Prometheus Data Source, you will create multiple Grafana Organizations with their own Prometheus Data Sources. Each Data Source points to an individual prometheus-filter-proxy endpoint which rewrites all requests to be limited to the given label matcher. Example: http://127.0.0.1:9090/owner=".*<somebody>.*"/

In order for this to make any sense, your Prometheus data has to be classified with a useful label (such as owner in the above case). Basically, this is an implementation of the idea of Prometheus issue #1813.

Status

This project is considered feature-complete. It is recommended that long-term tests be run before putting this tool into production.

Build

This tool is built using Go (tested with 1.9.2 or newer). It makes use of some popular Go libraries, which have been vendored (using dep) to allow for reproducible builds and simplified cloning.

go get -u github.com/hoffie/prometheus-filter-proxy
