Re: Prometheus and Grafana for IBM i

This is what I use:


SBMJOB CMD(JAVA CLASS('/home/prometheus/prom-client-ibmi.jar')) JOB(PROMCLIENT) JOBQ(QUSRNOMAX)

This in turn starts two jobs.

That command is done from WRKJOBSCDE

We have the advanced job scheduler, but I use the old one to keep advanced users responsible for the WRKJOBJS stuff out of system stuff….Security by obscurity in this case……

Not sure if Jim's would be much different:

SBMJOB CMD(QSH CMD('cd /DIR_WHERE_U_PUT_IT/prometheus-exporter-jdbc && java -jar prom-client-ibmi.jar')) JOB(PROMETHEUS) JOBQ(QSYSNOMAX) USER(TECH_USER)


This would be a good spot for utilizing QSHONi as well.
