Genesis

Genesis is an open-source project, created by the Enterprise Architecture Team. His main aim is to provide a simple, flexible system to ping various services, and export all these metrics in a readable format for Prometheus.

How does it work?

The project is a Golang program, running a web server. The server exposes a /metrics endpoint on port 8080, who shows all ping time, HTTP status and API results using the GET method.

Cache time and endpoints could be easily configured in the config.json file.

How to execute it?

• Stand-alone / dev : go mod download && go run ./cmd
• Docker : docker build --no-cache -t="genesis:latest" . && docker run -d --name="genesis" -p 8080:8080 -v config.json:/app/config.json genesis:latest
