Pyroscope pull with static targets

This example demonstrates how Pyroscope can be used to scrape pprof profiles from remote nodejs targets.

1. Run Pyroscope server and demo application in docker containers

shell

docker-compose up -d

As a sample application we use slightly modified rideshare app

Note that we apply configuration defined in server.yml:

<details> <summary>server.yml</summary>

yaml

---
log-level: debug
scrape-configs:
  - job-name: testing
    enabled-profiles: [cpu]
    static-configs:
      - application: rideshare
        spy-name: nodespy
        targets:
          - rideshare:3000
        labels:
          env: dev

</details>

2. Observe profiling data

Profiling is more fun when the application does some work, so it shipped with built-in load generator.

Now that everything is set up, you can browse profiling data via Pyroscope UI.
