Monitoring ASP.NET Core apps with Prometheus
Services:
- app-proxy (receives the json payload)
- app (receives the json payload from app-proxy)
- app-ping (pings each service every 100ms)
Running the stack:
docker pull microsoft/dotnet:latest
docker build -t prom-app .
docker network create promapp-net
docker run -d --network promapp-net -p 5200:5000 --name app --restart unless-stopped prom-app
docker run -d --network promapp-net -p 5100:5000 --name app-proxy --restart unless-stopped -e PROXY_FOR='http://app:5000' prom-app
docker run -d --network promapp-net -p 5300:5000 --name app-ping --restart unless-stopped -e PING_INTERVAL="100" -e PING_TARGETS='http://app:5000,http://app-proxy:5000' prom-app
