Each node in our network has it's own access control permissions and organizational owner. It's easy enough to provide a centralized service with an end-point to push statistics from each node. In this case, organizational participation is "distributed".
A pull model, while technically distributed, is organizationally centralized: I have to get each node's owner to grant me direct access. Politically, and for security reasons, that's not going to happen.
- bbrazil 12y agoThat'd be a challenge alright. One thing to consider is having each owner run their own Prometheus so that they can take advantage of all it's features, though it's a harder sell than "just push over here". http://www.boxever.com/push-vs-pull-for-monitoring http://www.boxever.com/push-vs-pull-for-monitoring looks at other bits of the push vs. pull question.
