hi hi all, anyone use the flink/prometheus connector that can assist. need the required jar file and then how to package data via flink using flink sql. got json payloads inbound that I need to reshape into the correct format and send out to the sink connector.

Bump, Looking for someone that has used this connector before... I'd like to output to a Prometheus TSDB... and thinking I might need to use PyFlink also to package the data into the correct structure... Not sure how to complete my idea.

Hey there, George! I did not use but perhaps I may be able to help you. What is the struggle? "Just packing" (I know it's troublesome) the jar? Some other help needed
g
Looking at the examples it seem to be java based, aka package process into jar and load onto flink, does not seem to be a connection that i can use in a create table into which i then insert data into... is my understanding correct...

... looking, can you see where the required jar file is ? not seeing reference to it.
p
Which required jar? Sorry I did not get it.
g
for a connector to work like this there is normally a jar file you place in your lib folder of the flink install.
it looks like the code wants me to build it myself using maven
p
Ah got it. You'd have to checkout that branch and build it
g
will have to give it a try... as java is not my wheelhouse
hehehe
figured

The process should be straight forward. If you struggle, reach out 😄

will do... but as I'm writing a blog... would have been nice if the project team made it available, allowing anyone to easier follow/build the blog also.
will do... thanks

Nice to find who owns that connector to push the merge.
