    RE: en.osm.town/@amapanda/11613703

    Any recommendations for how to turn my #logs into some #metrics that my #Prometheus server can injest? Some alternative to #mtail? (this problem aside, it looked like a dead project for a while)

    I'm using #mtail to parse my logs and export that as a local #prometheus exporter server.

    I got into a panic, because suddenly loads of production machines were showing 0 accesses, even though I could see they were in use.

    Looks like mtail was outputting “total number of requests” in scientific notation, causing prometheus to essentially see nothing... 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

    `accesses_total{prog="parse.mtail"} 2.991904e+06`
