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"]

  ## Kubernetes config file to create client from.
  # kube_config = "/path/to/kubernetes.config"

  ## Scrape Kubernetes pods for the following prometheus annotations:
  ## - prometheus.io/scrape: Enable scraping for this pod
  ## - prometheus.io/scheme: If the metrics endpoint is secured then you will need to
  ##     set this to `https` & most likely set the tls config.
  ## - prometheus.io/path: If the metrics path is not /metrics, define it with this annotation.
  ## - prometheus.io/port: If port is not 9102 use this annotation
  # monitor_kubernetes_pods = true

  ## Use bearer token for authorization. ('bearer_token' takes priority)
  # bearer_token = "/path/to/bearer/token"
  ## OR
  # bearer_token_string = "abc_123"
  ## The URL of the local mesos agent
  mesos_agent_url = "http://$NODE_PRIVATE_IP:5051"
  ## The period after which requests to mesos agent should time out
  mesos_timeout = "10s"

  ## The user agent to send with requests
  user_agent = "Telegraf-prometheus"
  ## Optional IAM configuration
  # ca_certificate_path = "/run/dcos/pki/CA/ca-bundle.crt"
  # iam_config_path = "/run/dcos/etc/dcos-telegraf/service_account.json"

  ## 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

urls can contain a unix socket as well. If a different path is required (default is /metrics for both http[s] and unix) for a unix socket, add path as a query parameter as follows: unix:///var/run/prometheus.sock?path=/custom/metrics

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.

Kubernetes scraping

Enabling this option will allow the plugin to scrape for prometheus annotation on Kubernetes pods. Currently, you can run this plugin in your kubernetes cluster, or we use the kubeconfig file to determine where to monitor. Currently the following annotation are supported:

  • prometheus.io/scrape Enable scraping for this pod.
  • prometheus.io/scheme If the metrics endpoint is secured then you will need to set this to https & most likely set the tls config. (default 'http')
  • prometheus.io/path Override the path for the metrics endpoint on the service. (default '/metrics')
  • prometheus.io/port Used to override the port. (default 9102)

Mesos Service Discovery

The URL in the mesos_agent_url parameter will be used to discover, via the Mesos state endpoint, the ports on Mesos tasks that metrics may be exposed on. Collection will be attempted throughout the life of the task.

To allow collection of the metrics exposed on any given port (or multiple ports), tasks may EITHER:

  • Label the port with DCOS_METRICS_FORMAT=prometheus

OR

  • Label the task with DCOS_METRICS_FORMAT=prometheus
  • Label the task with the index of the metrics port eg. DCOS_METRICS_PORT_INDEX=0 or label it with the name of the metrics port eg. DCOS_METRICS_PORT_NAME=prometheus

In case when both labels are specified: DCOS_METRICS_PORT_INDEX and DCOS_METRICS_PORT_NAME, the port index one takes the priority.

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 your CaddyFile
  • 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.
