We've previously looked at scraping services from consul and ssh checks. How can we combine those?

Prometheus 1.3.0 contained a small change that makes it possible to extract arbitrary labels from systems like Consul that only normally support one-dimensional tags.
As part of designing and building Prometheus, hundreds of technical decisions have to be made. Every one of them is important in building a sustainable consistent ecosystem. Today, let's look at one small decision that was made by the Prometheus developers in Consul service discovery.
Systems such as Consul perform healthchecking of local services and expose this information to other machines within the cluster. Does this mean that the service will work when you try to talk to it?
