This program is a scrapable target for prometheus to get http health check data for other servers. Define mutltiple targets using the configuration, supporting http aswell as https.
- Download and install the rust toolchain for your operating system
- clone this repository with git
- navigate to the directory to which you cloned this repository and run
cargo b --release
The compiled binary will be located in ./target/release/prom-http-exporter.
Make sure that a configuration file config.toml is in the same directory or supply a path as a parameter to the program.
An example configuration is supplied in this directory.
You should then be able to reach the server at http://<your-host>:<your-port>.
pre-built images are available on ghcr
To build the Docker image, run docker build . or podman build ..
run the docker image with the command podman|docker run -v </path/to/config.toml>:/etc/prom-http-exporter/config.toml -p <port>:<port> <image>
Note
When using SELinux, you might encounter issues when trying to add custom configuration files by mounting them. I have no clue how to fix this, but you can just rebuild the image with your config pre-installed.
Under the [server] section, host and port refer to the host and port the server will bind to.
Setting accept_invalid_certs to true will allow the server to make connections to other servers with invalid (or self-signed) tls certificates.
The section targets contains a list of targets that the exporter should connect to when conducting a health check. Lists in toml are formatted as ["element1", "element2"]
