WSGI

To use Prometheus with WSGI, there is make_wsgi_app which creates a WSGI application.

from prometheus_client import make_wsgi_app from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server  app = make_wsgi_app() httpd = make_server('', 8000, app) httpd.serve_forever() 

Such an application can be useful when integrating Prometheus metrics with WSGI apps.

The method start_wsgi_server can be used to serve the metrics through the WSGI reference implementation in a new thread.

from prometheus_client import start_wsgi_server  start_wsgi_server(8000) 

By default, the WSGI application will respect Accept-Encoding:gzip headers used by Prometheus and compress the response if such a header is present. This behaviour can be disabled by passing disable_compression=True when creating the app, like this:

app = make_wsgi_app(disable_compression=True)
