For pushing a metric to Pushgateway:

$ ./metricspusher push --metric gaugetimestamp --start --stage buildtest --type pipeline
{"level":"info","msg":"pushed gaugetimestamp for service cicd_pipeline",
    "time":"2023-02-19 07:32:11"}

In case of success, you should it on Pushgateway UI, as per below:

For deleting a metric from Pushgateway:

$ ./metricspusher push --metric gaugetimestamp --stop --stage buildtest --type pipeline
{"level":"info","msg":"removed gaugetimestamp for service cicd_pipeline",
    "time":"2023-02-19 07:33:10"}

You may also trigger a metric to be pushed and removed after a given interval of seconds with a single command, using the --for flag -- just take consideration your Prometheus scrapping interval so that the data is not lost:

$ ./metricspusher push --metric gaugetimestamp --for 15 --stage buildtest --type pipeline
{"level":"info","msg":"pushed gaugetimestamp for service cicd_pipeline",
    "time":"2023-02-19 07:32:11"}

Build

For building a container image:

make build

For local development, start a Prometheus Pushgateway locally on port 9091 and build the binary with the following:

$ make setup
b5945c06772a49771c63fb692403cebb0f70f76b92d2cc97b4929ed69806a033
$ make local-build
successfully build on ./bin/metricspusher
$ ./bin/metricspusher version
1.0.1

To stop and remove the Pushgateway container, run the following:

make destroy
