A way to get the Prometheus config (like /api/v1/status/config)

[tanguynicolas]

Hi,

Is there a way to get the Prometheus configuration? Like when going to the /api/v1/status/config endpoint. Or maybe a way to get the list of targets, like /api/v1/targets endpoint.

Didn't found in the documentation. I need this for a particular usecase.

Something like prom.config() or prom.targets(), as can be done to retrieve the list of metrics with prom.all_metrics().

I'm doing this for now:

full_config = requests.get(f"{prom.url}/api/v1/status/config").json()
full_config_yml = full_config['data']['yaml']

Thanks

@tanguynicolas PrometheusConnect cannot do this atm. But I think this would be a great addition to the package. Would you want to work on adding it?

I'm just a simple system administrator. I'm afraid I can't do it. I contribute to Terraform modules because that's what I'm good at, but contributing to a Python package is something else.

Do you have a PR for a similar modification that I could use as an example?
