cinc_server_exporter

About The Project

While working at my current gig I found we were lacking some metrics to gain a deeper visibility in to our infrastructure. I built this exporter to fill some of those gaps.

Getting Started

This project assumes you have cinc-server installed with the default database settings.

Installation

1. Switch to the database user

   sudo su - opscode-pgsql
   

2. pull latest release

   wget # automated builds/releases coming soon
   

3. run the service

   ./cinc_server_exporter
   

4. test

   curl http://localhost:9165/metrics

Development Setup

Recommended prerequesites

• nix
• devenv.sh
• direnv

Building and running

1. Pull latest code

   git clone https://github.com/esoterick/cinc_server_exporter.git
   

2. Enter project directory

   cd cinc_server_exporter
   

3. Allow direnv and let nix to do it's thing

   devenv init
   

4. Update .envrc with any configuration options, most importantly the host= string should be set to the current working directory of the repo plus .devenv/state/postgres which is the default location of where devenv stores the test postgres instance data.

   export CINC_SERVER_EXPORTER_CONN_STRING="host=$(pwd)/.devenv/state/postgres user=rlambert dbname=opscode_chef"
   export CINC_SERVER_EXPORTER_INTERVAL="15"
   

5. Allow updated direnv

   direnv allow .
   

6. Run test database

   devenv up
   

7. Import Test Data

   createdb opscode_chef
   psql -U rlambert -d opscode_chef -f test/data/nodes.sql
   

8. Run exporter

   cargo run
   

9. Scrape

   curl http://localhost:9165/metrics

Usage

Configuration

There are a handful of options to configure the exporter which is done via the following environment variables.

• CINC_SERVER_EXPORTER_CONN_STRING - Postgres connection string to the CINC database. default: host=localhost user=opscode-pgsql dbname=opscode_chef
• CINC_SERVER_EXPORTER_INTERVAL - Interval to scrape the database in seconds. default: 15
• CINC_SERVER_EXPORTER_LISTEN_ADDR - Listen address for the exporter. default: 0.0.0.0
• CINC_SERVER_EXPORTER_LISTEN_PORT - Listen TCP port for the exporter. default: 9164
