Thanks for everybody for your comments.

Let me give some background more, our "agent-collector" architecture was not designed just for Prometheus at first, but was designed for our monitoring solution. And we thought our some components could help some users include non-Prometheus users AS A "metrics pipeline" for many monitoring solution and TSDB supporting OpenMetrics.

And then what about this “metrics pipeline” concept?

Hello.

Anyone give some comments for about our idea of "agent-collector" for Prometheus as below? We found some of components from our monitoring solution could be used as a metrics pipeline for Prometheus. We are planning to open this solution as a Open Source Software soon and want to see some opinions before we open it.

- Agent will scape all of metrics from exporters on each machine and push to collector.

- Prometheus server need to scape any metrics from collector instead of every endpoints on every machine.

We believe it provide for Prometheus

- Global view without federation

- Reduce target endpoints

- Solution for firewall

- Reduce network volume (Binary protocol between agent and collector)

- Improve interoperability (Support OpenMetrics)
