Icecast Exporter exports statistics from Icecast into Prometheus.
We use this at [[https://urn1350.net/][University Radio Nottingham]] for pulling statistics from our web streaming into a Grafana instance which is used to find listener counts in time-series.
** Install
Ensure you have a working Go installation (minimum 1.18) and run the following:
$ go install github.com/jb3/icecast-exporter@latest
Once installed, you will find the compiled binary at ~/home/user/go/bin/icecast-exporter~.
** Usage
Once you have a binary, you can use the program with the following command line flags:
| Flag | Default | Required | Description | |------------+------------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------| | ~url~ | N/A | ✅ | The URL of the Icecast ~status-json.xsl~ endpoint to poll from. | | ~port~ | 2112 | ❌ | The port to listen and serve metrics from. | | ~endpoint~ | ~/metrics~ | ❌ | Endpoint to serve metrics from. | | ~interval~ | ~15~ | ❌ | Timing interval to poll Icecast (seconds). |
An example invocation is as follows:
$ ./icecast-exporter -url https://icecast.example.com/status-json.xsl -port 1234
** Running in the background
An example FreeBSD ~rc.d~ service might look like:
. /etc/rc.subr
name="icecast_exporter" rcvar="icecast_exporter_enable" pidfile="/var/run/icecast_exporter.pid"
command="/usr/sbin/daemon" command_args="-P ${pidfile} -r -t icecast_exporter /home/joe/go/bin/icecast-exporter -url https://icecast.example.com/status-json.xsl"
load_rc_config $name run_rc_command "$1"
Once this file has been edited and placed in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/icecast-exporter (and set to executable), run:
$ sysrc icecast_exporter_enable=YES
$ service iceast_exporter start
