Grafana Prometheus Exporter

A Prometheus exporter for Grafana metrics.

NOTE: starting at v4.5, Grafana already provides prometheus metrics at the /metrics endpoint, so using this exporter is not necessary anymore

Installation

Binaries

Download the already existing binaries for your platform:

$ ./grafana_exporter <flags>

From source

Using the standard go install (you must have Go already installed in your local machine):

$ go install github.com/frodenas/grafana_exporter
$ grafana_exporter <flags>

Docker

To run the grafana exporter as a Docker container, run:

$ docker run -p 9261:9261 frodenas/grafana-exporter <flags>

Cloud Foundry

The exporter can be deployed to an already existing Cloud Foundry environment:

$ git clone https://github.com/frodenas/grafana_exporter.git
$ cd grafana_exporter

Modify the included application manifest file to include the desired properties. Then you can push the exporter to your Cloud Foundry environment:

$ cf push

BOSH

This exporter can be deployed using the Prometheus BOSH Release.
