Question : Setting up Prometheus (dockerized) to monitor OpenVPN clients

[ddewaele]

What did you do?

Setup prometheus / alertmanager in their docker containers on a user defined bridged network.
Works fine to monitor assets that are running on the hosts / reachable via the internet.

I'm hoping for some guidance on how such a setup could work to monitor OpenVPN clients connected via a tun+ interface (either directly on the host, or via another docker container on the same network).

The idea is to monitor external devices (that expose prometheus metrics) that connect to the OpenVPN.

I've asked a more generic question (not involving Prometheus, as I assume this has nothing to do with Prometheus itself) on superuser.

If somebody has some pointers on how to get this up and running I'd be happy to write up a blog post on how such a setup could work.

Are you wondering how best to discover the service, route traffic to it, or perhaps how you might get metrics from it @grobie?

Please send questions to the prometheus-users usergroup https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/prometheus-users instead.
