Project description

Adds a Prometheus exporter to your web application to read out version information.

Installation

pip install versions-client

# This stores the OS packages upfront because it's very resource intensive
os-package-versions > /var/local/os-package-versions.yaml

Usage

>>> import versions_client
>>> versions_client.generate_versions(version='1.0', revision='d0935f4')

Description

VERSIONS_OS_PACKAGE_PATH

The path to the stored os packages file.

Usage with Django

  1. Add application labels to your django settings:

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        # ...
        'versions_client',
        # ...
    )
    
    ...
    
    VERSIONS_AUTH = [('admin', 'secret')]
    VERSIONS_LABELS = {
        'version': 'v1.0',
        'revision': 'd0935f4',
    }
  2. a. Add the included URL’s:

    # urls.py
    
    from django.conf.urls import include, url
    
    
    urlpatterns = [
        url(r'^', include('versions_client.django.urls')),
    ]

    This creates an endpoint on /versionz.

    b. Or create your own URL’s and views:

    # urls.py
    
    from django.conf.urls import include, url
    
    from . import views
    
    
    urlpatterns = [
        url(r'^metrics$', views.metrics_view, name='prometheus-django-metrics'),
    ]

    To get more metrics, you could integrate django-prometheus.

    In this example we combine our metrics with those from prometheus-client.

    # views.py
    
    import prometheus_client
    from django.conf import settings
    from django.http.response import HttpResponse
    import versions_client
    
    
    @versions_client.django.auth.basic
    def metrics_view(request):
        application_labels = getattr(settings, 'VERSIONS_LABELS', {})
        metrics_page = prometheus_client.generate_latest()
        version_page = versions_client.generate_versions(**application_labels)
        return HttpResponse(
            metrics_page + version_page,
            content_type=prometheus_client.CONTENT_TYPE_LATEST)
