local-exporter bridges between Prometheus and instrumented on-host daemons that do not expose a web-server on their own.
It is meant to run as an unpriviliged container with few bind-mounts, and can bridge to multiple local endpoints:
- plain metrics textfile
- Unix-domain socket
- DBus method
For more information and background details, see the design doc.
go get -u -v github.com/lucab/local_exporter && local_exporter serve --help
A TOML configuration sample (with comments) is available under examples.
An automatically built x86_64 container image is available on quay.io and can be run as:
docker run -p 9598:9598/tcp -v "$PWD/dist/examples/config.toml:/etc/local_exporter/config.toml" -v /run:/host/run quay.io/lucab/local_exporter:master local_exporter serve -vv
