Prometheus Input Plugin
The prometheus input plugin gathers metrics from HTTP servers exposing metrics in Prometheus format.
Configuration:
# Read metrics from one or many prometheus clients
[[inputs.prometheus]]
## An array of urls to scrape metrics from.
urls = ["http://localhost:9100/metrics"]
## An array of Kubernetes services to scrape metrics from.
# kubernetes_services = ["http://my-service-dns.my-namespace:9100/metrics"]
## Use bearer token for authorization
# bearer_token = /path/to/bearer/token
## Specify timeout duration for slower prometheus clients (default is 3s)
# response_timeout = "3s"
## Optional TLS Config
# tls_ca = /path/to/cafile
# tls_cert = /path/to/certfile
# tls_key = /path/to/keyfile
## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
# insecure_skip_verify = false
Kubernetes Service Discovery
URLs listed in the kubernetes_services
parameter will be expanded
by looking up all A records assigned to the hostname as described in
Kubernetes DNS service discovery.
This method can be used to locate all Kubernetes headless services.
Bearer Token
If set, the file specified by the bearer_token
parameter will be read on
each interval and its contents will be appended to the Bearer string in the
Authorization header.
Usage for Caddy HTTP server
If you want to monitor Caddy, you need to use Caddy with its Prometheus plugin:
- Download Caddy+Prometheus plugin here
- Add the
prometheus
directive in yourCaddyFile
- Restart Caddy
- Configure Telegraf to fetch metrics on it:
[[inputs.prometheus]]
# ## An array of urls to scrape metrics from.
urls = ["http://localhost:9180/metrics"]
This is the default URL where Caddy Prometheus plugin will send data. For more details, please read the Caddy Prometheus documentation.
Metrics:
Measurement names are based on the Metric Family and tags are created for each label. The value is added to a field named based on the metric type.
All metrics receive the url
tag indicating the related URL specified in the
Telegraf configuration. If using Kubernetes service discovery the address
tag is also added indicating the discovered ip address.
