prometheus...rt-exporter(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, listen up — this is prometheus-libvirt-exporter, and it's literally the Prometheus exporter for libvirt metrics. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it takes your libvirt stuff and turns it into metrics Prometheus can slurp up. no cap. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

prometheus-libvirt-exporter [<flags>]

that's the whole thing. just the binary and some optional <flags>. you got this, fr fr. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically: it's a Prometheus metrics exporter for libvirt. it sits there, looks at libvirt, and exposes metrics so your monitoring stack can be the main character. lowkey iconic. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

one flag per bullet, no skips, we keep it complete:

• --help — shows you context-sensitive help. and if you're feeling extra, there's also --help-long and --help-man. the way it just ✨explains itself✨ to you. 🫶
• --web.listen-address=":9177" — the address it listens on for the web interface and telemetry. default is :9177, so that's the door it's holding open. 🚪💖
• --web.telemetry-path="/metrics" — the path under which the metrics get exposed. default "/metrics", classic, iconic, we love her. 📊
• --libvirt.uri="qemu:///system" — the libvirt URI it pulls metrics from. default is "qemu:///system", so that's where the tea gets spilled from. 🍓
• --libvirt.export-nova-metadata — turns on exporting OpenStack Nova specific labels from the libvirt domain xml. no default value listed, it's just a switch — flip it if you want that Nova flavor. 👑

quick vibe check: every default above is exactly what the page says, so don't come for me if you override them and things look different. defaults are defaults, periodt. 💅

🌈 the cute lil sign-off 🌈

this whole thing lives in the General Commands Manual section, and the page footer is just the page name again — prometheus...rt-exporter(1) — the source/version-and-date energy, folded right in at the bottom like a little bow. 🎀

go forth and export those metrics, bestie. you ate. 💖✨🦋
