The default JSON output isn't always what you want when querying Prometheus. Let's see how to get out CSV files.
I've written a small Python program to show how you can view the output of an instant query as CSV files.
Let's see it in action against the live demo:
pip install requests # If you don't have it already. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RobustPerception/python_examples/master/csv/query_csv.py python query_csv.py http://demo.robustperception.io:9090 'irate(process_cpu_seconds_total[1m])'
Which produces output like:
name,timestamp,value,instance,job ,1477858669.096,0.0030060120239314473,demo.robustperception.io:9093,alertmanager ,1477858669.096,0.510999999998603,demo.robustperception.io:9090,prometheus ,1477858669.096,0.0020082337584533144,demo.robustperception.io:9100,node ,1477858669.096,0.0009992006395102197,demo.robustperception.io:9091,pushgateway
This can be further processed or redirected to a file, which you can load up in Excel!
