prometheus_exporter_hcloud_sd

prometheus_exporter_hcloud_sd is a CLI tool that discovers Prometheus exporters in your Hetzner Cloud project and generates a Prometeus file-based service discovery YAML configuration for them.

This tool is particularly useful when running multiple Prometheus exporters in a Hetzner Cloud environment and you want to automate the discovery and configuration process.

prometheus_exporter_hcloud_sd utilizes the Hetzner Cloud API for exporter discovery. Therefore, it should be executed within the same network as the servers (it discovers exporters using the servers' private IP).

By default, the tool will discover the following exporters:

• MySQL at port 9104
• Redis at port 9121
• ElasticSearch at port 9114
• Postgres at port 9187
• PgBouncer at port 9127

You can specify additional exporters to discover with the --exporter flag, followed by the service name and port, formatted as: <service_name>=<port>.

Install the gem with:

gem install prometheus_exporter_hcloud_sd

If you use bundler to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

bundle add prometheus_exporter_hcloud_sd

Before using prometheus_exporter_hcloud_sd, ensure the HCLOUD_READ_TOKEN environment variable is set with a Hetzner Cloud API token that has read permissions.

export HCLOUD_READ_TOKEN=your-read-token

Run the following command to discover exporters:

prometheus_exporter_hcloud_sd discover

The following is an example of a generated YAML configuration:

- targets: ["10.15.1.1:9104"]
  labels:
    job: "mysql"

- targets: ["10.15.1.2:9121","10.15.1.3:9121"]
  labels:
    job: "redis"

This YAML configuration can be used to set up the a file-based service discovery in Prometheus. For example, you can create a file called hcloud_sd.yml with the above content and then configure Prometheus to use it:

scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'node'
  file_sd_configs:
  - files:
    - 'hcloud_sd.yml'

To discover additional exporters, use the --exporter flag (can be used multiple times):

prometheus_exporter_hcloud_sd discover --exporter traefik=80

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
