Prometheus Input Plugin

The prometheus input plugin gathers metrics from any webpage exposing metrics with Prometheus format

Configuration:

Example for Kubernetes apiserver

# Get all metrics from Kube-apiserver
[[inputs.prometheus]]
  # An array of urls to scrape metrics from.
  urls = ["http://my-kube-apiserver:8080/metrics"]

You can use more complex configuration to filter and some tags

# Get all metrics from Kube-apiserver
[[inputs.prometheus]]
  # An array of urls to scrape metrics from.
  urls = ["http://my-kube-apiserver:8080/metrics"]
  # Get only metrics with "apiserver_" string is in metric name
  namepass = ["apiserver_*"]
  # Add a metric name prefix
  name_prefix = "k8s_"
  # Add tags to be able to make beautiful dashboards
  [inputs.prometheus.tags]
    kubeservice = "kube-apiserver"
# Authorize with a bearer token skipping cert verification
[[inputs.prometheus]]
  # An array of urls to scrape metrics from.
  urls = ["http://my-kube-apiserver:8080/metrics"]
  bearer_token = '/path/to/bearer/token'
  insecure_skip_verify = true
# Authorize using x509 certs
[[inputs.prometheus]]
  # An array of urls to scrape metrics from.
  urls = ["https://my-kube-apiserver:8080/metrics"]

  ssl_ca = '/path/to/cafile'
  ssl_cert = '/path/to/certfile'
  ssl_key = '/path/to/keyfile'

Measurements & Fields & Tags:

Measurements and fields could be any thing. It just depends of what you're quering.

Example:

# HELP go_gc_duration_seconds A summary of the GC invocation durations.
# TYPE go_gc_duration_seconds summary
go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="0"} 0.00010425500000000001
go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="0.25"} 0.000139108
go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="0.5"} 0.00015749400000000002
go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="0.75"} 0.000331463
go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="1"} 0.000667154
go_gc_duration_seconds_sum 0.0018183950000000002
go_gc_duration_seconds_count 7
# HELP go_goroutines Number of goroutines that currently exist.
# TYPE go_goroutines gauge
go_goroutines 15
  • go_goroutines,

    • gauge (integer, unit)
  • go_gc_duration_seconds

    • field3 (integer, bytes)
  • All measurements have the following tags:

  • go_goroutines has the following tags:

    • kubeservice=kube-apiserver
  • go_gc_duration_seconds has the following tags:

    • kubeservice=kube-apiserver

Example Output:

Example of output with configuration given above:

$ ./telegraf -config telegraf.conf  -test
