Hi, this definitely looks very cool, but how about cases where we have a bunch of instances running behind a load balancer, and each servers its own metrics? We can't pull them, because hitting the load balancer would randomly choose only one instance. Instances are scaled up based on load. So we can't specify the target instances in Prometheus because it keeps on changing. We'd like to try this out, but any ideas what to do for the above?

What you want to do is separately scrape each instance. We're working on service discovery support[1] so that you can dynamically change what hosts/ports Prometheus scrapes. Currently you can use DNS for service discovery, or change the config file and restart prometheus. [1]http://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/roadmap/ http://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/roadmap/
