Impact

The impact of detecting the Prometheus Pushgateway panel is primarily informational. It helps users identify the presence of the Pushgateway panel and gain insights into the metrics exposed by ephemeral and batch jobs.

How does the module work?

The "Prometheus Pushgateway Panel - Detect" module works by sending HTTP requests and analyzing the responses to identify the presence of the Pushgateway panel. It uses matching conditions to determine if the response contains specific content related to the Pushgateway panel.

One example of a matching condition used in this module is the presence of the "<title>Prometheus Pushgateway</title>" tag in the response. If this tag is found, it indicates the presence of the Pushgateway panel.

The module also includes additional metadata, such as the maximum number of requests to be sent (max-request: 1), which provides further context for the scanning process.
