# Prometheus Client Service Output Plugin

This plugin starts a [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) Client, it exposes all metrics on `/metrics` (default) to be polled by a Prometheus server.

## Configuration

```
# Publish all metrics to /metrics for Prometheus to scrape
[[outputs.prometheus_client]]
  # Address to listen on
  listen = ":9273"

  # Path to publish the metrics on, defaults to /metrics
  path = "/metrics"   

  # Expiration interval for each metric. 0 == no expiration
  expiration_interval = "60s"
```
Add prometheus_client service output module, update prometheus client - Adds a client implementation using the prometheus go_client library that exposes metrics. - Adds a new type of output "ServiceOutput" which follows inline with the "ServicePlugin", adding a Stop and Start method for the service This change also requires the newer prometheus/client_golang code, so the prometheus plugin needed to be changed. Added the following to Godep: - bitbucket.org/ww/goautoneg (in github.com/common/expfmt/encode.go) - prometheus/common/expfmt (in plugins/prometheus.go) - github.com/prometheus/common/model (in plugins/prometheus.go) - github.com/prometheus/procfs (in github.com/client_golang/prometheus) - github.com/beorn7/perks/quantile (in github.com/client_golang/prometheus) X-Github-Meta: closes #306 2015-10-22 16:17:57 +00:00			`# Prometheus Client Service Output Plugin`
