Prometheus Exporting

[mustafaakin]

We can probably use counters to count events that match certain criteria so that people can see if something is increasing or not.

https://github.com/caicloud/event_exporter provides an event exporter for prometheus. Maybe that can be included into this project?

The problem with that project is that it would generate an enormous amount of metrics because there are endless events. I was thinking reporting the number of events that matches certain rules, reseulting in a few summary metrics. Prometheus should not be used as a common event query because it cannot handle it/not designed for it.

Using prometheus labels it's possible to categorize events based on type, namespace, pod, k8s labels, whatever. This way the amount of events would be reduced, manageable and made easier to expose. What do you think @mustafaakin ?

It appears this project is no longer maintained https://github.com/caicloud/event_exporter/pull/54#issuecomment-925658900
