Does Netscaler 13.0 support Prometheus scrapers? Or is 13.1 required?

[Danny Gullick]

I see that 13.0 has a timeseries profile for Prometheus, but am not seeing where to put the schema.json file.

Thanks,

Hello @Danny Gullick, thank you for your message.

NetScaler 13.0 supports Prometheus integration using PUSH mode meaning netScaler will push the metrics to Prometheus PUSH Gateway or NetScaler observability exporter from which Prometheus will PULL the metrics.

NetScaler 13.1 Prometheus integration is direct meaning Prometheus will PULL/scrape the metrics directly from NetScaler.

Hence I would recommend you upgrade your NetScaler to 13.1 for better integration.

Hi Mayur, thank you for your response! That makes since now.

Concerning setting up 13.0 to push. Do I use the time series analytics profile set to output the prometheus format? If so, do I setup a collector?

Thanks,

I guess my real question is how do I setup 13.0 to do a push? Not really finding much in the way documentation...
