Prometheus

This page provides instructions to set up Prometheus Server to scrape metrics from JMS Bridge, which already runs a Prometheus agent on port 8888.

Note

JMS Bridge has built-in Prometheus agent enabled by default on port 8888.

VM

1. Download and extract Prometheus from the official site:

wget https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/download/v2.51.2/prometheus-2.51.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xvf prometheus-2.51.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
cd prometheus-2.51.2.linux-amd64

2. Edit prometheus.yml to add JMS Bridge target:

global:
  scrape_interval: 15s

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: "jms-bridge"
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["localhost:8888"]

Tip

Replace localhost with the actual IP or hostname of the JMS Bridge host if running remotely.

3. Start Prometheus:

./prometheus --config.file=prometheus.yml

4. Open your browser and go to:

http://localhost:9090

5. Navigate to Status → Targets and confirm that jms-bridge is listed and marked as UP.

Docker

1. Create a custom prometheus.yml file on your host with the following content:

global:
  scrape_interval: 15s

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: "jms-bridge"
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["host.docker.internal:8888"]

Note

Use host.docker.internal to access the host from inside Docker (Mac/Windows). On Linux, use the host IP.

2. Run Prometheus server using this config:

docker run -d \
  -p 9090:9090 \
  -v /path/to/prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml \
  --name prometheus \
  prom/prometheus

3. Visit:

http://localhost:9090

4. Go to Status → Targets and verify that the jms-bridge job is healthy.

No Additional JMS Bridge Configuration Needed

Tip

Prometheus agent is preconfigured in JMS Bridge and runs on port 8888 by default.

You only need to point your Prometheus server to localhost:8888 or the appropriate IP/hostname.
