Prometheus Metrics Exporter
A Prometheus exporter fetches metrics from another, non-Prometheus system and then converts those metrics into time series metrics. In TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail, the user can configure a Prometheus exporter target, from which, metrics are scraped at a regular interval. For each such configured Prometheus exporter, an equivalent Hawk microagent is created with each metric from the exporter becoming Hawk microagent method. Once these metrics are collected, the user can query these metrics by using Operational Intelligence Search Query Language (OISQL) or create visualizations for these metrics by creating custom dashboards to get a better understanding about an application over a time period.
