Are the statistics you want to monitor available now over https queries? In logs somewhere?
Basically with Prometheus you start with “there exists a metric/statistic that can be queried”, then you start having Prometheus query it by adding it to the configuration. However, it’s really a Prometheus Problem when you’re talking about updating everything every minute or second, usually when checking across many or all hosts. A daily or hourly query in Prometheus across a whole wiki not on each host is really kind of silly. It can do that, sure, but maybe you do just use a script instead? If the standard now is Prometheus Everything then I guess that’s ok, but figuring out where to source the metrics is the next problem. Implementation after that is fairly easy… -george Sent from my iPhone > On May 1, 2025, at 6:40 AM, Roy Smith <r...@panix.com> wrote: > > I want to build something to monitor the [[WP:DYK]] system on enwiki.
