Setup of prometheus.yml for Confluence and Jira

[akinadeyemo1]

Hello everyone,

Please can someone assist in configuration of prometheus.yml file for scraping metrics from Jira and confluence.

All I have got is as detailed below from github and atlassian community

The prometheus.yml settings looks like:

*****************************************

scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'confluence'
scheme: https # change to http if don't you have https
metrics_path: '/<your_confluence_context_path>/plugins/servlet/prometheus/metrics'
static_configs:
- targets: ['myhost:1990'] # Confluence host and port you serve

*******************************************

The prometheus.yml settings looks like:

scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'jira'
scheme: https # change to http if don't you have https
metrics_path: '/jira/plugins/servlet/prometheus/metrics'
static_configs:
- targets: ['myhost:2990'] # Jira host and port you serve

*********************************************

Putting these 2 details above in my prometheus.yml file with few modifications:

"myhost" modified to my ip address

<confluence_context_path> to "/confluence" in server.xml file

Restarted prometheus service but could not get my prometheus service running.

I will appreciate your advice on how to get this information appropriately configured in prometheus.yml.

My platform is centos 8 virtual machines.

Regards,

Akin

I eventually got this sorted out myself by going into Jira and Confluence Web applications and find out the actual metrics_path location  i.e. /plugins/servlet/prometheus/metrics. I put in this detail in my prometheus.yml file and restarted prometheus.service.

I also replaced the ports with the actual connector port for Jira and Confluence in replacement of 2990 and 1990.

My prometheus service started fine and I was able to scrape Jira and Confluence metrics.
