node_exporter itself doesn't generate apt_upgrades_pending. Therefore, I expect you're running a script like this from cron: https://github.com/prometheus-community/node-exporter-textfile-collector-scripts/blob/master/apt.sh together with node_exporter's textfile_collector.
This isn't a counter, it's a gauge. And you can alert on it just by any simple PromQL expression, e.g. apt_upgrades_pending > 0 # alert as soon as updates available min_over_time(apt_upgrades_pending[48h]) > 0 # only alert if updates have been pending for 48 hours continuously I don't know anything about Windows package management, but if you can make a batch file or powershell script to determine the information you want, you should be able to do the same sort of thing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
