Question

I have a prometheus up on container in windows OS .

I wont to scrape my spring boot app which is up on simple localhost ( not dockerized) .

this is my prometheus.yml :

global: scrape_interval: 15s

alerting: alertmanagers:

• static_configs:
  • targets:
    • localhost:9093 scheme: http timeout: 10s

rule_files:

• "/alertmanager/alert.rules/alerts.rules.yml"

scrape_configs:

• job_name: 'mySpringBootApp'
  metrics_path: '/actuator' static_configs:
  • targets: ['docker.for.win.localhost:9098']

I got this error on promethus target :

when i change the target in promethus.yml from ['docker.for.win.localhost:9098'] to ['localhost:9098'] i got the error : Get http://localhost:9098/actuator: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:9098: connect: connection refused

when i change the target to ['host.docker.internal:9098'] i got this error : "INVALID" is not a valid start token
