PROMETHEUS-SCRIPT-EXPORTER(1)

💖 prometheus-script-exporter 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the prometheus-script-exporter manual page — that's section 1 of the Prometheus manual, and yes she is that girl. sit down, grab a strawberry, and let's get into it 🍓✨

✨ NAME ✨

prometheus-script-exporter — a Prometheus exporter for scripts. no cap, that's the whole job description 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

prometheus-script-exporter [<flags>]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. flags only, no positional arguments, she said what you see is what you get 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so like… the original page has this heading and then absolutely nothing under it. not me getting ghosted by the DESCRIPTION section 😭 it's giving mysterious main character energy. the flags below are where all the lore lives, so keep scrolling bestie 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

here's every single flag, fr fr. no skipping, no summarizing, we respect the full list in this house ✨

• -h, --help — shows context-sensitive help. also try --help-long and --help-man if you want the extended cut, the director's commentary, the whole cinematic universe 🎬
• --config.files — the configuration files. and listen, if you wanna specify multiple config files you can use glob patterns — she's flexible like that 💅
• --config.check — if true, it validates the configuration files and then exits. a little vibe check for your config before you commit, we love a responsible queen 👑
• --log.env — if true, the environment variables passed to a script get logged. lowkey handy, highkey noisy, choose your fighter 🙈
• --script.no-args — restricts the script to accept arguments. sometimes you gotta set boundaries bestie 🚫
• --script.timeout-offset=0.5 — offset to subtract from the timeout, in seconds. the default is 0.5 🕐
• --web.external-url=<url> — the URL under which Script Exporter is externally reachable (for example, if Script Exporter is served via a reverse proxy). it's used for generating relative and absolute links back to Script Exporter itself. if the URL has a path portion, that path gets used to prefix all HTTP endpoints served by Script Exporter. if you omit it entirely, the relevant URL components get derived automatically. she's self-sufficient like that ✨
• --web.route-prefix=<path> — prefix for the internal routes of web endpoints. defaults to the path of --web.external-url 🛣️
• --discovery.host — host for service discovery 🔍
• --discovery.port — port for service discovery 🔍
• --discovery.scheme — scheme for service discovery 🔍
• --web.systemd-socket — use systemd socket activation listeners instead of port listeners. Linux only, so don't come crying to macOS about it 🐧
• --web.listen-address=:9469 — addresses on which to expose metrics and the web interface. repeatable, so you can stack multiple addresses like accessories 💍 examples: :9100 or [::1]:9100 for http, vsock://:9100 for vsock
• --web.config.file — path to a configuration file that can enable TLS or authentication. see: https://github.com/prometheus/exporter-toolkit/blob/master/docs/web-configuration.md 🔐
• --log.level=info — only log messages with the given severity or above. one of: [debug, info, warn, error]. default is info 💬
• --log.format=logfmt — output format of log messages. one of: [logfmt, json]. default is logfmt 📝
• --version — show application version. tiny flag, huge "who am I" energy 🌈

heads up bestie: that --web.config.file one is your TLS/auth gate — if you're exposing this thing to the world, that's the flag you wanna know about, fr fr. and --config.check is your bestie for catching config mistakes before they hit prod 💀

and that's the whole page!! this was prometheus-script-exporter version 3.0.1, from September 2025, part of the Prometheus manual set. go forth and export those scripts, you absolute icon 🎀💖✨ periodt.
