Our software has a single state value indicating if the system is running,
starting, stopping, or stopped (but the software is still actually running).
I would like to record this as a metric and I can't decide if recording a
mapping to key values (my_label = stopped=0, starting=1, ...) is better, or
one meta-metric for each state my_label_info{state="starting} etc.In our visualisation dashboard (Grafana) I will want to be able to: - show how many systems are in each state - show the state of a single system in a per-system dashboard. Is there an obvious answer to this or are there arguments for each? Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
