Monitoring metrics exposed by an OpenMetrics exporter
With Rational® Test Automation Server, you can monitor your system resources by using metrics data that are exposed by an OpenMetrics or a Prometheus exporter through metric counters while executing a schedule.
You must have at least one exporter or software to expose monitoring metrics with an OpenMetrics or Prometheus format.
You must have created a project in Rational Test Automation Server.
No Prometheus server installation is required, you only need to set up one or multiple OpenMetrics, or Prometheus exporters that fit your software or host target. Refer to the link at the end of this page to see the list of exporters.
The following procedure describes how to select and create OpenMetrics counters in Rational Test Automation Server. You must set a connection between Rational Test Automation Server and the OpenMetrics exporter to select counters.
