A prometheus exporter for monitoring restic repository stats. Currently limited to repos using S3 compatible buckets as backend. The functionality can be easily extended to other providers if there is enough interest. This project was mainly done to monitor my homelab backups and fire alerts if the backups are not up-to-date

Refer to config.yaml.example to configure your repositories. Then run using docker as below
docker run -p 18090:18090 -v ./config.yaml:/app/config.yaml kmjayadeep/restic-exporter:latest
It will expose the metrics on port 18090 which can be scrapped by prometheus. The stats are refreshed every 10 mins by default and can be customized in the config file.
docker-compose up
You can find the Kubernetes kustomize manifests under k8s folder
