Prometheus [remote storage](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/storage/#remote-storage-integrations) API for Rust.
## Usage
There are two interfaces in Prometheus remote storage API: write/read.
Both interfaces use a snappy-compressed protocol buffer encoding over HTTP.
This crate provides:
- Rust-binding to [prometheus remote storage protocol buffer definitions](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/main/prompb/remote.proto)
- Various web framework utils to serve the remote wire protocols, which are controlled by corresponding feature-gates. Available features:
- `warp`
- more web framework will be added
Any third-party storage can integrate with Prometheus by implementing `RemoteStorage` trait.
```rust
pub trait RemoteStorage: Sync {
type Err: Send;
type Context: Send + Sync;
/// Write samples to remote storage.
async fn write(&self, ctx: Self::Context, req: WriteRequest) -> Result<(), Self::Err>;
/// Process one query within [ReadRequest](crate::types::ReadRequest).
///
/// Note: Prometheus remote protocol sends multiple queries by default,
/// use [read](crate::types::RemoteStorage::read) to serve ReadRequest.
async fn process_query(
&self,
ctx: &Self::Context,
q: Query,
) -> Result<QueryResult, Self::Err>;
/// Read samples from remote storage.
///
/// [ReadRequest](crate::types::ReadRequest) may contain more than one sub [queries](crate::types::Query).
async fn read(
&self,
ctx: Self::Context,
req: ReadRequest,
) -> Result<ReadResponse, Self::Err> {
let results = futures::future::join_all(
req.queries
.into_iter()
.map(|q| async { self.process_query(&ctx, q).await }),
)
.await
.into_iter()
.collect::<Result<Vec<_>, Self::Err>>()?;
Ok(ReadResponse { results })
}
}
```
