custom-metric-app

Deploy Custom Metric Producer

This application exists to expose a metrics endpoint that proffers custom metrics used for scaling a second application.

This metric may be tangentially related to the load of the scaled app. For instance it may gather and report on a queue depth or work backlog. However, the current app referenced here does not.

oc apply -k custom-metric-app
  namespace/keda-test created
  service/prometheus-example-app created
  deployment.apps/prometheus-example-app created
  servicemonitor.monitoring.coreos.com/prometheus-example-monitor created
  route.route.openshift.io/prometheus-example-app created

TODO

Tip	Create a new app with more pertinent metric example. Like returning the number of Todos from a work queue.
