prometheus-exporter-merger

Merges Prometheus metrics from multiple sources.

But Why?!

Sometimes you need to scrape Prometheus metrics from multiple containers in a single pod, but you can't do this using annotations: prometheus/prometheus#3756.

To start the exporter:

prometheus-exporter-merger --config /config/prometheus-exporter-merger.yaml

Config example:

listen: :8080
scrap_timeout: 20s
sources:
  - url: http://127.0.0.1:8081/metrics
    labels:
      keyX: valueX
      keyY: Y
  - url: http://127.0.0.1:8082/metrics
    labels:
      key2: Z

Another way to pass configuration by setting environment variables:

export LISTEN=":8080"
export SCRAPE_TIMEOUT="20s"
export URL_1=http://127.0.0.1:801/api/v1/metrics/prometheus,keyX:valueX,keyY:Y
export URL_2=http://0.0.0.0:7070/api/v1/metrics/prometheus,key2:Z

Kubernetes

The prometheus-exporter-merger is supposed to run as a sidecar.
