Prometheus Container

Development

AWX comes with an example Prometheus container and make target. To use it:

1. Edit tools/prometheus/prometheus.yml and update the basic_auth section to specify a valid user/password for an AWX user you've created. Alternatively, you can provide an OAuth2 token (which can be generated at /api/v2/users/N/personal_tokens/).

   Note: By default, the config assumes a user with username=admin and password=password.

2. Start the Prometheus container: make prometheus

3. The Prometheus UI will now be accessible at http://localhost:9090/graph.

There should be no extra setup needed. You can try executing this query in the UI to get back the number of active sessions: awx_sessions_total
