Prometheus Input Plugin

The prometheus input plugin gathers metrics from HTTP servers exposing metrics in Prometheus format.

Configuration:

# Read metrics from one or many prometheus clients
[[inputs.prometheus]]
  ## An array of urls to scrape metrics from.
  urls = ["http://localhost:9100/metrics"]
  
  ## Metric version controls the mapping from Prometheus metrics into
  ## Telegraf metrics.  When using the prometheus_client output, use the same
  ## value in both plugins to ensure metrics are round-tripped without
  ## modification.
  ##
  ##   example: metric_version = 1; 
  ##            metric_version = 2; recommended version
  # metric_version = 1
  
  ## Url tag name (tag containing scrapped url. optional, default is "url")
  # url_tag = "url"
  
  ## An array of Kubernetes services to scrape metrics from.
  # kubernetes_services = ["http://my-service-dns.my-namespace:9100/metrics"]
  
  ## Kubernetes config file to create client from.
  # kube_config = "/path/to/kubernetes.config"
  
  ## Scrape Kubernetes pods for the following prometheus annotations:
  ## - prometheus.io/scrape: Enable scraping for this pod
  ## - prometheus.io/scheme: If the metrics endpoint is secured then you will need to
  ##     set this to 'https' & most likely set the tls config.
  ## - prometheus.io/path: If the metrics path is not /metrics, define it with this annotation.
  ## - prometheus.io/port: If port is not 9102 use this annotation
  # monitor_kubernetes_pods = true
  
  ## Get the list of pods to scrape with either the scope of
  ## - cluster: the kubernetes watch api (default, no need to specify)
  ## - node: the local cadvisor api; for scalability. Note that the config node_ip or the environment variable NODE_IP must be set to the host IP.
  # pod_scrape_scope = "cluster"
  
  ## Only for node scrape scope: node IP of the node that telegraf is running on.
  ## Either this config or the environment variable NODE_IP must be set.
  # node_ip = "10.180.1.1"
	
  ## Only for node scrape scope: interval in seconds for how often to get updated pod list for scraping.
  ## Default is 60 seconds.
  # pod_scrape_interval = 60
  
  ## Restricts Kubernetes monitoring to a single namespace
  ##   ex: monitor_kubernetes_pods_namespace = "default"
  # monitor_kubernetes_pods_namespace = ""
  # label selector to target pods which have the label
  # kubernetes_label_selector = "env=dev,app=nginx"
  # field selector to target pods
  # eg. To scrape pods on a specific node
  # kubernetes_field_selector = "spec.nodeName=$HOSTNAME"
  
  ## Use bearer token for authorization. ('bearer_token' takes priority)
  # bearer_token = "/path/to/bearer/token"
  ## OR
  # bearer_token_string = "abc_123"
  
  ## HTTP Basic Authentication username and password. ('bearer_token' and
  ## 'bearer_token_string' take priority)
  # username = ""
  # password = ""
  
  ## Specify timeout duration for slower prometheus clients (default is 3s)
  # response_timeout = "3s"
  
  ## Optional TLS Config
  # tls_ca = /path/to/cafile
  # tls_cert = /path/to/certfile
  # tls_key = /path/to/keyfile
  
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false

urls can contain a unix socket as well. If a different path is required (default is /metrics for both http[s] and unix) for a unix socket, add path as a query parameter as follows: unix:///var/run/prometheus.sock?path=/custom/metrics

Kubernetes Service Discovery

URLs listed in the kubernetes_services parameter will be expanded by looking up all A records assigned to the hostname as described in Kubernetes DNS service discovery.

This method can be used to locate all Kubernetes headless services.

Kubernetes scraping

Enabling this option will allow the plugin to scrape for prometheus annotation on Kubernetes pods. Currently, you can run this plugin in your kubernetes cluster, or we use the kubeconfig file to determine where to monitor. Currently the following annotation are supported:

  • prometheus.io/scrape Enable scraping for this pod.
  • prometheus.io/scheme If the metrics endpoint is secured then you will need to set this to https & most likely set the tls config. (default 'http')
  • prometheus.io/path Override the path for the metrics endpoint on the service. (default '/metrics')
  • prometheus.io/port Used to override the port. (default 9102)

Using the monitor_kubernetes_pods_namespace option allows you to limit which pods you are scraping.

Using pod_scrape_scope = "node" allows more scalable scraping for pods which will scrape pods only in the node that telegraf is running. It will fetch the pod list locally from the node's kubelet. This will require running Telegraf in every node of the cluster. Note that either node_ip must be specified in the config or the environment variable NODE_IP must be set to the host IP. ThisThe latter can be done in the yaml of the pod running telegraf:

env:
  - name: NODE_IP
    valueFrom:
      fieldRef:
        fieldPath: status.hostIP

If using node level scrape scope, pod_scrape_interval specifies how often (in seconds) the pod list for scraping should updated. If not specified, the default is 60 seconds.

Bearer Token

If set, the file specified by the bearer_token parameter will be read on each interval and its contents will be appended to the Bearer string in the Authorization header.

Usage for Caddy HTTP server

If you want to monitor Caddy, you need to use Caddy with its Prometheus plugin:

  • Download Caddy+Prometheus plugin here
  • Add the prometheus directive in your CaddyFile
  • Restart Caddy
  • Configure Telegraf to fetch metrics on it:
[[inputs.prometheus]]
#   ## An array of urls to scrape metrics from.
  urls = ["http://localhost:9180/metrics"]

This is the default URL where Caddy Prometheus plugin will send data. For more details, please read the Caddy Prometheus documentation.

Metrics:

Measurement names are based on the Metric Family and tags are created for each label. The value is added to a field named based on the metric type.

All metrics receive the url tag indicating the related URL specified in the Telegraf configuration. If using Kubernetes service discovery the address tag is also added indicating the discovered ip address.
