def export_to_prometheus(data):
    # Parse Google Cloud AI metrics
    metrics = parse_metrics(data)
    for metric in metrics:
        # Format and export each metric to Prometheus
        export_metric_to_prometheus(metric)

def parse_metrics(data):
    # Custom parsing logic
    return parsed_metrics

 

Prometheus Setup

 

  • Configure Prometheus to scrape metrics from your custom endpoint where the Google Cloud Function exports data.
  •  

  • Update prometheus.yml configuration with the target endpoint:

 

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'gcloud_ai_metrics'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['<your_export_endpoint>']

  •  

  • Network Issues: Confirm that network policies and firewalls allow traffic between Prometheus and Google Cloud resources. Use troubleshooting tools like ping or traceroute to diagnose.
  •  

 

Set Up Google Cloud Monitoring

 

  • Install Google Cloud Monitoring components and configure them to export data to Prometheus.
  •  

  • Use the following snippet to deploy an exporter:

 

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: prometheus-to-sd-exporter
spec:
  template:
    ...

 

Debugging Steps

 

  • Enable verbose logging by modifying the Prometheus deployment: add --log.level=debug.
  •  

  • Check if metric targets are discovered by visiting /targets on Prometheus' UI.

 

How to authenticate Prometheus with Google Cloud AI services?

  • First, ensure you have the Google Cloud SDK installed. Authenticate with Google Cloud using:

 

gcloud auth login

 

  • Create a service account with required roles in the Google Cloud Console and download the JSON key file.

 

Configure Prometheus

 

  • Ensure Prometheus is configured to scrape metrics from your AI services. Edit `prometheus.yml` to add a job for your Google Cloud AI service.

 

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'ai_service'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['your_ai_service_url']

 

Integrate Authentication into Prometheus

 

  • Use Prometheus exporters or client libraries that support OAuth2 or service account authentication.
  • For Python: Use `google-auth` and `prometheus_client` libraries.
