We use the Prometheus system to monitor our cloud infrastructure and I wondered if anyone already has integrated Tyk into Prometheus monitoring.
I thought of using Tyk-Pump to export to CSV and then write some custom scripts to expose as Prometheus compatible format.
Another idea would be to use some intermediate format like InfluxDB/Statsd, because there are already exporters for Prometheus: Exporters and integrations | Prometheus
What do you think?
Hello!
Both StatsD and InfluxDB natively supported by the Pump //tyk.io/docs/tyk-stack/tyk-pump/other-data-stores/ so it can be a good idea to use exporter, like you mentioned.

I have exactly the same use-case. The prometheus statsd_exporter has the same input interface as the statsd (daemon) itself, so Tyk-Pump can pump the data directly into the statsd_exporter, which is nice.
There are just some quirks to keep in mind, like this issue.
