💖 PROMETHEUS-IPMI-EXPORTER 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about prometheus-ipmi-exporter — it's a Prometheus exporter for IPMI devices, and it lives in section 1 of the manual (the "user commands" girlies). no cap. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

prometheus-ipmi-exporter [<flags>]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you run it, you give it flags, it exports. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so, real talk: this section is literally empty in the original. like, nothing. void. the NAME section already told you everything it wanted to say — Prometheus exporter, IPMI devices, iconic. so don't come looking for lore here, because there is none. moving on! 💀

👑 OPTIONS 👑

every single one, in order, no skipping, periodt:

  • -h, --help — shows you context-sensitive help. and because one help flag is never enough, you can also try --help-long and --help-man. yes really, three flavours of help. we love options. ✨
  • --config.file=CONFIG.FILE — the path to your configuration file. tell it where the config lives and it'll go read it. 🎀
  • --freeipmi.path=FREEIPMI.PATH — path to the FreeIPMI executables. if you don't set this, it just relies on $PATH (that's the default). so either point at it directly or make sure your $PATH is doing its job. 🦋
  • --native-ipmi — use the native IPMI implementation instead of FreeIPMI. heads up though, this one is marked EXPERIMENTAL, so like… she's new here. be gentle. 🙈
  • --web.systemd-socket — use systemd socket activation listeners instead of port listeners. Linux only, so if you're not on Linux, this flag is not for you, sorry babe. 💜
  • --web.listen-address=:9290 — the addresses where metrics and the web interface get exposed. it's repeatable, so you can stack multiple addresses if you want. examples: :9100 or [::1]:9100 for http, and vsock://:9100 for vsock. default is :9290. 🌈
  • --web.config.file — path to a configuration file that can enable TLS or authentication. the docs live at: https://github.com/prometheus/exporter-toolkit/blob/master/docs/web-configuration.md — go read them, iykyk. 🔥
  • --log.level=info — only log messages at the given severity or above. one of: [debug, info, warn, error]. default is info. 👑
  • --log.format=logfmt — the output format for log messages. one of: [logfmt, json]. default is logfmt. ⭐
  • --version — shows the application version. quick little flex. 🍓
lowkey a tiny manpage but every flag counts, bestie. no filler, all substance. 💖

and that's the whole page, fr fr — brought to you by prometheus-ipmi-exporter 1.10.1, dated August 2025, from the Prometheus girlies. stay slaying, go export some metrics, mwah 💅✨🧚
