Installation

This extension can be easily installed using the weewx extensions installer.

1. Download the extension from github:

   wget https://github.com/Bert-R/weewx-prometheus/archive/v1.6.0.tar.gz
   

2. Install using the weewx extension utility

   wee_extension --install v1.6.0.tar.gz
   

3. Update weewx.conf to appropriately tag weather data for submission into the Prometheus pushgateway and subsequent scraping from Prometheus. Note that job and instance names may be subject to relabeling depending on your Prometheus environment.

   [StdRESTful]
     [[PromPush]]
        job = PROMETHEUS_JOB_NAME
        instance = PROMETHEUS_INSTANCE_NAME
        host = PUSH_GW_HOST
        port = PUSH_GW_PORT
   

   wee_extension will add a boilerplate [[PromPush]] section to your config. You need to edit it.

4. Restart weewx

   sudo /etc/init.d/weewx stop
   sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start
