Andrew this is very cool. But it is very out of date. For example “application” → “fleet.” Also, the docker images you are looking for are not found (removing the version numbers seems to help). But then there’s a compatibility problem with go/prometheus. Is there an officially support baletheus?

@fbinky – Thanks for the note! Great catch on this being a bit of an outdated project. Sorry that you’ve run into this bit of friction.

> Is there an officially supported baletheus?

I dig that name haha. We actually haven’t officially turned it into a block, so a few folks are investigating how we can update it and turn it into an official block now. We’ll keep you informed. Thanks again for the great feedback.
