Jenkins Exporter

An exporter for Jenkins Build metrics written in Golang. The program is intended to run as daemon. It fetches periodically metrics for Jenkins build via the Jenkins API and publishes them via an HTTP endpoint in Prometheus format.

It provides the following Prometheus metrics:

• Histogram: jenkins_exporter_job_duration_seconds_bucket,
  jenkins_exporter_job_duration_seconds_sum,
  jenkins_exporter_job_duration_seconds_count
  • Labels:
    • result
    • jenkins_job: the name of the Jenkins Job
    • type: type of recorded duration, one of:
      • blocked_time
      • buildable_time
      • building_duration
      • executing_time
      • waiting_time
• Counter: jenkins_exporter_errors
  Counts the number of errors the jenkins-exporter encountered when fetching informations from the Jenkins API.
  • type:
    • jenkins_api

By default metrics are recorded for every finished Jenkins build. The Jenkins jobs for that builds are recorded can be limited with the --jenkins-job-whitelist command-line parameter. The duration types that are recorded can also be configured via a commandline parameter. See ./jenkins-exporter -help for more information.
