A basic livebox exporter written in rust 🦀. Start monitoring your livebox router's using Prometheus / Grafana 💪.

Features

• Should work on livebox 4 and upper 🤷🏻‍
• Extracts metrics: general status, wan configuration, devices status, bandwidth
• Exposes metrics: in Prometheus format, compatible with Grafana
• Docker image: tchapacan/livebox-exporter-rs:latest
• Grafana dashboard template: check the example folder

Metric Name	Description	Type
livebox_infos_status	Livebox general status	gauge
livebox_infos_uptime	Livebox uptime	gauge
livebox_infos_reboot	Livebox count of reboots	gauge
livebox_wan_status	Livebox wan status	gauge
livebox_link_status	Livebox link status	gauge
livebox_interface_bytes_rx	Livebox interface bytes received	gauge
livebox_interface_bytes_tx	Livebox interface bytes transmitted	gauge
livebox_device_status	Livebox connected devices status	gauge

Usage

Docker

1. Pull latest docker image: to your local machine.

   docker pull tchapacan/livebox-exporter-rs:latest

2. Run the Exporter: run the docker images, using the options.

   docker run -d --name livebox-exporter-rs -h livebox-exporter-rs -p <exporter_port>:<exporter_port> tchapacan/livebox-exporter-rs:latest --password <livebox_password> --port <exporter_port>

3. Access Metrics: Once the exporter is running, access the exposed metrics at:

   http://localhost:<exporter_port>/metrics

Sources

   git clone https://github.com/tchapacan/livebox-exporter-rs.git

2. Build the Project: go to the project directory and build the project.

   cd livebox-exporter-rs
   cargo build --release
   cd target/release/

3. Run the Exporter: run the binary, using the options.

   ./livebox-exporter-rs -P <livebox_password> -p <exporter_port>

4. Access Metrics: Once the exporter is running, access the exposed metrics at:

-p, --port	Exporter port	9100
-l, --listen	Listen address	0.0.0.0
-G, --gateway	Livebox gateway ip address	192.168.1.1

Details

• Use the prometheus_exporter_base crate for formatting Prometheus metrics.
• Based on a rework version of the livebox rust client project to output additional metrics.

Example (docker-compose)

Grafana/prometheus/livebox-exporter-rs

example
├── .env
├── docker-compose.yaml
├── grafana
│   ├── HomeLan.json
│   └── datasource.yml
└── prometheus
    └── prometheus.yml

Requirements

• Docker should be installed on your machine.

Environment Variables

• Configure your livebox password .env and source it before running docker-compose.

cd example && cp .env.example .env

Update env..

Update your LIVEBOX_PASSWORD env secrets variable and source it

source .env

Docker Compose

• Run the following command to start the services defined in the docker-compose.yaml file:

docker-compose up -d

Accessing Grafana

• Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000.
• Log in with the default credentials:
  • Username: admin
  • Password: grafana

Import dashboard template

• Once logged into Grafana, click on the + icon in the left sidebar and select Import.
• Upload HomeLan.json json dashboard template from example or copy paste content
• Import and start enjoying your dashboard!

Metrics might take few mins to come up (connected devices graph is 1h delayed in grafana due to default configuration)
