The content of this repository was used to test the inotify-instances textfile collector. The inotify-instances textfile collector was submitted for upstream consideration in the Prometheus node_exporter distribution.

Usage

Build test container:

docker build --force-rm -t inotify-tester .

Run test container:

docker run --rm \
  --cap-add SYS_PTRACE \
  --mount type=bind,src=/path/to/inotify-instances,dst=/inotify-instances \
  inotify-tester

Replace /path/to/inotify-instances with the true path to the textfile exporter.
