The incTotalAppOpens endpoint is used for incrementing a Prometheus Counter each time an application (or group of applications) are opened. This will be expanded with other useful metrics over time. Supported FunctionsĬurrently there is only one supported function type which is the incTotalAppOpens endpoint that tracks how many times an application is opened. I use these metrics to graph my usage in Grafana. But I also wanted to track my usage of social media and make a conscious effort to reduce the amount of times I was opening my social media apps. I created this as a fun little side project, primarily because I was bored. What possible use case could you have for this?
It also has no authentication which makes it challenging to expose externally (which is essential for a roaming iOS device). It operates in a very similar fashion to Prometheus Pushgateway, however, due to the fact that Pushgateway is only "vaguely REST-like", the iOS Get Contents of URL doesn't play nicely with it. Metrics are exported via the /metrics endpoint, that listens on a different port to the main API. It centres around a HTTP RESTful API, that can be called using the new Shortcuts application available in iOS 13 based on certain triggers.
Ios-usage-prometheus-exporter is a Prometheus Exporter, written in Golang that allows metrics from certain actions in iOS 13 to be exported into Prometheus.
