Wow, I see a lot of people interested in this feature :).

Any particular reason to prefer Prometheus over an alternative like influxDB? Can you provide some example jmx of how you use the listener? What metrics do you usually use? Can you provide a grafana dashboard that you usually use in combination with the plugin?

How do you usually handle the potential issue of losing metrics due to the "pull" nature of Prometheus? For example, if you have you prometheus server polling metrics every 5 seconds, how do you avoid losing the metrics for the last 5 seconds of JMeter test plan execution in your Prometheus metrics? I see the plugin doesn't have a way to push metrics. Do you usually set prometheus.delay system property, to be greater than prometheus server poll period?

We have just released a new version which includes prometheusListener. I will close this issue. Feel free to re open it if you have further questions/comments regarding this.
