# Prometheus scrape target metric names (Windows)

Below are **cURL** one‑liners you can run from a Windows command prompt (or PowerShell) that query the Prometheus HTTP API and print the raw JSON list of metric names for each target.  
Since **jq** isn’t installed, the commands simply echo the JSON response; you can pipe it to `findstr` or PowerShell’s `ConvertFrom‑Json` if you want a prettier view.

## 1. Chat (`http://chat:3000/metrics`)

```cmd
curl "http://localhost:9090/api/v1/label/__name__/values?match[]={job=\"chat\",instance=\"chat:3000\"}"
```

## 2. NGINX exporter (`http://nginx-exporter:9113/metrics`)

```cmd
curl "http://localhost:9090/api/v1/label/__name__/values?match[]={job=\"nginx\",instance=\"nginx-exporter:9113\"}"
```

## 3. Node exporter (`http://node-exporter:9100/metrics`)

```cmd
curl "http://localhost:9090/api/v1/label/__name__/values?match[]={job=\"node\",instance=\"node-exporter:9100\"}"
```

## 4. Playout (`http://playout:8081/metrics`)

```cmd
curl "http://localhost:9090/api/v1/label/__name__/values?match[]={job=\"playout\",instance=\"playout:8081\"}"
```

## 5. Postgres exporter (`http://postgres-exporter:9187/metrics`)

```cmd
curl "http://localhost:9090/api/v1/label/__name__/values?match[]={job=\"postgres\",instance=\"postgres-exporter:9187\"}"
```

## 6. Prometheus itself (`http://prometheus:9090/metrics`)

```cmd
curl "http://localhost:9090/api/v1/label/__name__/values?match[]={job=\"prometheus\",instance=\"prometheus:9090\"}"
```

## 7. Redis exporter (`http://redis-exporter:9121/metrics`)

```cmd
curl "http://localhost:9090/api/v1/label/__name__/values?match[]={job=\"redis\",instance=\"redis-exporter:9121\"}"
```

### Making the output a bit more readable (optional)

If you have **PowerShell** (available on Windows 10/11), you can format the JSON nicely:

```powershell
curl "http://localhost:9090/api/v1/label/__name__/values?match[]={job=`"chat`",instance=`"chat:3000`"}" |
  ConvertFrom-Json |
  Select-Object -ExpandProperty data |
  Sort-Object
```

Replace the URL part with the one for the target you’re interested in. The pipeline:

1. Calls `curl` (the built‑in alias for `Invoke-WebRequest` in PowerShell).
2. `ConvertFrom-Json` parses the JSON.
3. `Select-Object -ExpandProperty data` extracts the array of metric names.
4. `Sort-Object` alphabetizes them.

You can similarly pipe the output to `findstr /i "http_requests_total"` to search for a particular metric name without any extra tools.

### Quick checklist

| Item                    | What to adjust                                                                                                                                  |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Prometheus address**  | If your Prometheus container isn’t bound to `localhost:9090`, replace `localhost:9090` with the appropriate host/port (e.g., `127.0.0.1:9090`). |
| **Target job/instance** | The `job` and `instance` values must match the labels shown in your UI (they’re case‑sensitive).                                                |
| **PowerShell vs CMD**   | The raw `curl` commands work in both CMD and PowerShell; the PowerShell‑only pretty‑print uses `ConvertFrom‑Json`.                              |

Run the command for any target and you’ll receive a JSON payload like:

```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "data": [
    "up",
    "process_cpu_seconds_total",
    "http_requests_total",
    "... more metrics ..."
  ]
}
```

That array (`data`) is the complete list of metric names currently scraped from the specified endpoint.
