this is a foolish attempt to get metrics out of a managed netgear switch. I have tested it with my GS108Ev3.
Caution
there is no guarantee that this will work with your switch.
Since netgear does not provide an API it basically is webscraping from the port-monitor page. The scraper logs itself in and uses the returned cookie to continue scraping.
this whole construct is super fragile, sometimes the switch doesn't play nice and you get "banned" for around 5 minutes. it often continues.
the scraper expects two ENV variables:
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| REMOTE_IP | this is the IP of the switch |
| PASSWORD | the password used to authenticate against the webUI |
| PORT | the hostPort the scraper should listen on |
| LOCATION | where your switch is physically located |
the prometheus endpoint is at :<PORT>/metrics.
No guarantees, no warranty, no nothing. You are on your own. If you have suggestions I'm happy for pull requests. It may take a super long time till I respond. Please don't file issues, I do this in my spare time. Feel free to fork :)
