Add support for indicator host up and down

[beorn7]

Could you explain your proposal in more detail?

I use the pushgateway method to push alarm data, and the monitored host node is offline, how do I need an alarm notification？

I use the pushgateway method to push the alarm data, and I cannot see the up indicator from Prometheus, only the indicator of the pushgateway, as follows:

up{instance="127.0.0.1:9091", job="pushgateway", service="monitor"}

In pushgateway mode, other nodes use curl to send monitoring data to pushgateway. When pushgateway confiscates the monitoring data received from node curl, which indicator should be used for alarm notification?

Fundamentally: The synthetic up metric is a byproduct of the pull-based metric collection. It cannot work with a push-based approach.

You can alert on pushers failing to push by checking on how long ago the last push happened.
