Exposes information gathered from Proxmox VE cluster for use by the Prometheus monitoring system
1M+
|Build Status| |Package Version|
This is an exporter that exposes information gathered from Proxmox VE node for use by the Prometheus monitoring system.
Note: Python 2 is not supported anymore as of version 2.0.0. Instead use Python 3.6 or better.
.. code:: shell
python3 -m pip install prometheus-pve-exporter
.. code:: shell
docker pull prompve/prometheus-pve-exporter
Example: Display usage message:
.. code:: shell
docker run -it --rm prompve/prometheus-pve-exporter --help
Example: Run the image with a mounted configuration file and published port:
.. code:: shell
docker run --name prometheus-pve-exporter -d -p 127.0.0.1:9221:9221 -v /path/to/pve.yml:/etc/pve.yml prompve/prometheus-pve-exporter
Prometheus PVE Exporter will now be reachable at http://localhost:9221/.
::
usage: pve_exporter [-h] [--collector.status] [--collector.version]
[--collector.node] [--collector.cluster]
[--collector.resources] [--collector.config]
[config] [port] [address]
positional arguments:
config Path to configuration file (pve.yml)
port Port on which the exporter is listening (9221)
address Address to which the exporter will bind
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--collector.status, --no-collector.status
Exposes Node/VM/CT-Status (default: True)
--collector.version, --no-collector.version
Exposes PVE version info (default: True)
--collector.node, --no-collector.node
Exposes PVE node info (default: True)
--collector.cluster, --no-collector.cluster
Exposes PVE cluster info (default: True)
--collector.resources, --no-collector.resources
Exposes PVE resources info (default: True)
--collector.config, --no-collector.config
Exposes PVE onboot status (default: True)
Use ::
for the address
argument in order to bind to both IPv6 and IPv4
sockets on dual stacked machines.
Visit http://localhost:9221/pve?target=1.2.3.4 where 1.2.3.4 is the IP
of the Proxmox VE node to get metrics from. Specify the module
request parameter, to choose which module to use from the config file.
The target
request parameter defaults to localhost
. Hence if
pve_exporter
is deployed directly on the proxmox host, target
can be omitted.
Use the --collector.X
/ --no-collector.X
flags to enable disable selected
collectors.
Note that that the config collector results in one API call per guest VM/CT.
It is therefore recommended to disable this collector using the
--no-collector.config
flag on big deployments.
See the wiki_ for more examples and docs.
Example pve.yml
for password authentication:
.. code:: yaml
default:
user: prometheus@pve
password: sEcr3T!
Example pve.yml
for token authentication
_:
.. code:: yaml
default: user: prometheus@pve token_name: "..." token_value: "..."
The configuration is passed directly into proxmoxer.ProxmoxAPI()
_.
Note: When operating PVE with self-signed certificates, then it is necessary to
either import the certificate into the local trust store (see this SE answer
_
for Debian/Ubuntu) or add verify_ssl: false
to the config dict as a sibling
to the credentials. Note that PVE supports Let's Encrypt
_ out ouf the box. In
many cases setting up trusted certificates is the better option than operating
with self-signed certs.
For security reasons it is essential to add a user with read-only access (PVEAuditor role) for the purpose of metrics collection.
The PVE exporter can be deployed either directly on a Proxmox VE node or onto a separate machine.
Example config for PVE exporter running on PVE node:
.. code:: yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'pve'
static_configs:
- targets:
- 192.168.1.2:9221 # Proxmox VE node with PVE exporter.
- 192.168.1.3:9221 # Proxmox VE node with PVE exporter.
metrics_path: /pve
params:
module: [default]
Example config for PVE exporter running on Prometheus host:
.. code:: yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'pve'
static_configs:
- targets:
- 192.168.1.2 # Proxmox VE node.
- 192.168.1.3 # Proxmox VE node.
metrics_path: /pve
params:
module: [default]
relabel_configs:
- source_labels: [__address__]
target_label: __param_target
- source_labels: [__param_target]
target_label: instance
- target_label: __address__
replacement: 127.0.0.1:9221 # PVE exporter.
