Python Runtime Mixin

This mixin is a work in progress. We aim for it to become a good role model for dashboards eventually, but it's not there yet.

Mixins are a collection of configurable, reusable Prometheus rules, alerts and/or Grafana dashboards for a particular system, usually created by experts in that system. By applying them to Prometheus and Grafana, you can quickly set up appropriate monitoring for your systems.

This mixin is for Python applications, and contains a dashboard for visualizing the runtime metrics produced by Prometheus Python client process and platform collectors.

To use the mixin, you need to have mixtool and jsonnetfmt installed. If you have a working Go development environment, it's easiest to run the following:

$ go get github.com/monitoring-mixins/mixtool/cmd/mixtool
$ go get github.com/google/go-jsonnet/cmd/jsonnetfmt
