PrometheusReportingTask

Deprecation notice:

This component is deprecated and will be removed in NiFi 2.x.

Please consider using one the following alternatives: No alternative components suggested.

Description:

Reports metrics in Prometheus format by creating a /metrics HTTP(S) endpoint which can be used for external monitoring of the application. The reporting task reports a set of metrics regarding the JVM (optional) and the NiFi instance. Note that if the underlying Jetty server (i.e. the Prometheus endpoint) cannot be started (for example if two PrometheusReportingTask instances are started on the same port), this may cause a delay in shutting down NiFi while it waits for the server resources to be cleaned up.
