script-exporter

Prometheus exporter to invoke scripts and parse their output as metrics.

Usage

script-exporter -script.path /path/to/my/scripts -web.listen-address :9661

Create e.g. /path/to/my/scripts/script1, an executable which emits on stdout metrics in the Prometheus text exposision format.

Then configure your prometheus.yml to add a target like

  - job_name: 'script1'
    metrics_path: /metrics/script1
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9661']

If you add another script, you'll need another job, because the metrics path will be different.

You also want to add a job for the script_exporter internal metrics (errors, process stats, etc) as the above job will only yield metrics emitted by script1 itself:

  - job_name: 'script-exporter'
    metrics_path: /metrics
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9661']
