Package Exports

prometheus-query
prometheus-query/dist/prometheus-query.cjs.js
prometheus-query/dist/prometheus-query.esm.js
prometheus-query/dist/prometheus-query.umd.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (prometheus-query) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Browser

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/prometheus-query/dist/prometheus-query.umd.min.js"></script>

<script type="application/javacript">
    const prom = new Prometheus.PrometheusDriver(...);
</script>

💡 Quick start

import { PrometheusDriver } from 'prometheus-query';

const prom = new PrometheusDriver({
    endpoint: "https://prometheus.demo.do.prometheus.io",
    baseURL: "/api/v1" // default value
});

Instant query

// last `up` value
const q = 'up{instance="demo.do.prometheus.io:9090",job="node"}';
prom.instantQuery(q)
    .then((res) => {
        const series = res.result;
        series.forEach((serie) => {
            console.log("Serie:", serie.metric.toString());
            console.log("Time:", serie.value.time);
            console.log("Value:", serie.value.value);
        });
    })
    .catch(console.error);

Output:

Serie: up{instance="prometheus.demo.do.prometheus.io:9100", job="node"}
Time: Sun Feb 16 2020 18:33:59 GMT+0100 (Central European Standard Time)
Value: 1

Range query

// up during past 24h
const q = 'up';
const start = new Date().getTime() - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
const end = new Date();
const step = 6 * 60 * 60; // 1 point every 6 hours

prom.rangeQuery(q, start, end, step)
    .then((res) => {
        const series = res.result;
        series.forEach((serie) => {
            console.log("Serie:", serie.metric.toString());
            console.log("Values:\n" + serie.values.join('\n'));
        });
    })
    .catch(console.error);

Output:

Serie: up{instance="prometheus.demo.do.prometheus.io:9090", job="prometheus"}

List series matching query

const match = 'up';
const start = new Date().getTime() - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
const end = new Date();

prom.series(match, start, end)
    .then((res) => {
        console.log('Series:');
        console.log(res.join('\n'));
    })
    .catch(console.error);

Output:

up{instance="demo.do.prometheus.io:9090", job="prometheus"}
up{instance="demo.do.prometheus.io:9093", job="alertmanager"}
up{instance="demo.do.prometheus.io:9100", job="node"}

List all active alerts

prom.alerts()
    .then(console.log)
    .catch(console.error);

Output:

[
  Alert {
    activeAt: 2019-11-14T20:04:36.629Z,
    annotations: {},
    labels: { alertname: 'ExampleAlertAlwaysFiring', job: 'alertmanager' },
    state: 'firing',
    value: 1
  },
  Alert {

    state: 'firing',
    value: 1
  },
  Alert {

    annotations: {},
    labels: { alertname: 'ExampleAlertAlwaysFiring', job: 'pushgateway' },
    state: 'firing',
    value: 1
  }
]

Authenticated query

Using basic auth:

new PrometheusDriver({
    endpoint: "https://prometheus.demo.do.prometheus.io",
    auth: {
        username: 'foo',
        password: 'bar'
    }
});

Using cookies:

new PrometheusDriver({
    endpoint: "https://prometheus.demo.do.prometheus.io",
    withCredentials: true
});

Proxy

new PrometheusDriver({
    endpoint: "https://prometheus.demo.do.prometheus.io",
    proxy: {
        host: 'proxy.acme.com',
        port: 8080
    }
});

Hook HTTP requests and responses

new PrometheusDriver({
    endpoint: "https://prometheus.demo.do.prometheus.io",
    proxy: {
        host: 'proxy.acme.com',
        port: 8080
    },
    requestInterceptor: {
        onFulfilled: (config: AxiosRequestConfig) => {
            return config;
        },
        onRejected: (error: any) => {
            return Promise.reject(error.message);
        }
    },
    responseInterceptor: {
        onFulfilled: (res: AxiosResponse) => {
            return res;
        },
        onRejected: (error: any) => {
            return Promise.reject(error.message);
        }
    }
});

🔐 Security advisory

If you open a Prometheus instance on Internet, it would be a good idea to block some routes.

Start by blocking /api/v1/admin. I'm pretty sure allowing only /api/v1/query and /api/v1/query_range will match your needs.

Also don't use Prometheus as a multitenant timeseries database!

At your own risk... 😘
