Pushing metrics
Occasionally you will need to monitor components which cannot be scraped. The Prometheus Pushgateway allows you to push time series from short-lived service-level batch jobs to an intermediary job which Prometheus can scrape. Combined with Prometheus's simple text-based exposition format, this makes it easy to instrument even shell scripts without a client library.
