Hello @markus.wiedmer

Welcome back to the community

On v1.6.0, Prometheus pump was missing the _META postfix in its default environment variable prefix.

A fix for this is included in Pump 1.7.0 set to be released later this month/early Dec.

The custom metrics work fine when configured in the pump.conf though. See a sample configuration below:

"prometheus": {
  "type": "prometheus",
  "meta": {
    "listen_address": ":8092",
    "path": "/metrics",
    "custom_metrics": [
      {
        "name": "tyk_http_requests_total",
        "description": "Total of API requests",
        "metric_type": "counter",
        "labels": ["response_code", "api_name", "method", "api_key","alias", "path"]
      },
      {
        "name": "tyk_http_latency",
        "description": "Latency of API requests",
        "metric_type": "histogram",
        "labels": ["type", "response_code", "api_name", "method", "api_key", "alias", "path"]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Will this be a way forward for you until v1.7 is out?
