Hi, I am working on Prometheus endpoint. Prometheus client needs to expose an HTTP service, usually it is mapped at /metrics, the Prometheus serve polls that endpoint periodically in order to store metrics inside its local database.
We have two ways: 1) bind '/metrics' to the current "Admin server" 2) let the MetricsProvider open another http endpoint I see value in both of the two approaches. Approach 1): No new ports, so more "secure" ? more user-friendly ? Approach 2): If I am not an user of the HTTP Admin Server I would need to fully enable it if I want to integrate with Prometheus, so a separate endpoint would be better for me. In Apache BookKeeper we have all of the two options available (bind to standard http admin endpoint or start a separate http endpoint) I would like to see the option of the community. I am open to any of the two and even to having both of them. Regards Enrico
