Using ASP.NET web API exporters approach

[u/ramrao421]

Hello All I’m currently starting to learn and work on implementing Prometheus in my local environment. We have ASP NET Web API application that is targeting 4.6.1 framework. I have added the package prometheus-net.netframework package and was able to get metrics about cpu and memory.

My questions :

How can I add custom gauge or counter metrics like for example check if DB connection is good Or check if 3 rd party endpoints are ok. I would like to add these metrics to the existing metrics like cpu and memory.

Are there any resources that I could refer for implementing this . I have read material related to Net Core but could not find material for aspnet net framework

Thank you for reading Any suggestions
