Unable to use configuration file

[J5lx]

I spied in the help output of the program that it seems to support a configuration file. So I tried to set phpfpm.scrape-uri through this configuration file (both in the default location ~/.php-fpm_exporter.yaml and in a custom location via --config), however in the end I was unable to pass the configuration to the exporter that way, even though the file does seem to be found (output: “Using config file: /home/j5lx/.php-fpm_exporter.yaml”). I tried various syntaxes:

• phpfpm:
  - scrape_uri: unix:///run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;/status

• phpfpm.scrape_uri: unix:///run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;/status

• PHP_FPM_SCRAPE_URI: unix:///run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;/status

…but to no avail. Supplying the uri via the PHP_FPM_SCRAPE_URI environment variable, however, did work. Is there some secret syntax that I just can’t figure out or is the configuration file perhaps not entirely wired up to the rest of the program?

I’m using version 1.1.1.

@J5lx Great question. To be frank I have not tested the config file part and just assumed cobra (the library we use) is dealing with it.

I will investigate this and document the use.

I would still like to see this bug fixed.

How is this going? I see pr #154 addresses this issue, but is not reviewd yet?

If you are using systemd, then you can modify service which starts prometheus-php-fpm-exporter process.

systemctl edit --full prometheus-php-fpm-exporter.service

It has line Environment=PHP_FPM_SCRAPE_URI=unix:///run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;/status
