1.3 Report & Metrics

EaseProbe supports the following report and metrics:

  • SLA Report Notify. EaseProbe would send the daily, weekly, or monthly SLA report using the defined notify: methods.
  • SLA Live Report. The EaseProbe would listen on the 0.0.0.0:8181 port by default. By accessing this service you will be provided with a live SLA report either as HTML at http://localhost:8181/ or as JSON at http://localhost:8181/api/v1/sla
  • SLA Data Persistence. The SLA data will be persisted in $CWD/data/data.yaml by default. You can configure this path by editing the settings section of your configuration file.

For more information, please check the Global Setting Configuration

  • Prometheus Metrics. The EaseProbe would listen on the 8181 port by default. By accessing this service you will be provided with Prometheus metrics at http://easeprobe:8181/metrics.

The metrics are prefixed with easeprobe_ and are documented in Prometheus Metrics Exporter

2. Getting Started

You can get started with EaseProbe, by any of the following methods:

2.1 Build

Compiler Go 1.20+ (Generics Programming Support), checking the Go Installation to see how to install Go on your platform.

Use make to build and produce the easeprobe binary file. The executable is produced under the build/bin directory.

$ make

2.2 Configure

Read the User Manual for detailed instructions on how to configure all EaseProbe parameters.

Create a configuration file (eg. $CWD/config.yaml) using the configuration template at ./resources/config.yaml, which includes the complete list of configuration parameters.

The following simple configuration example can be used to get started:

http: # http probes
  - name: EaseProbe Github
    url: https://github.com/megaease/easeprobe
notify:
  log:
    - name: log file # local log file
      file: /var/log/easeprobe.log
settings:
  probe:
    timeout: 30s # the time out for all probes
    interval: 1m # probe every minute for all probes

You can check the EaseProbe JSON Schema section to use a JSON Scheme file to make your life easier when you edit the configuration file.

2.3 Run

You can run the following command to start EaseProbe once built

$ build/bin/easeprobe -f config.yaml
  • -f configuration file or URL or path for multiple files which will be automatically merged into one. Can also be achieved by setting the environment variable PROBE_CONFIG
  • -d dry run. Can also be achieved by setting the environment variable PROBE_DRY
