dsc-data...ometheus(7)

📦 version 1.4.2, in ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

✨ NAME ✨

Prometheus — the Prometheus output 💖 (yes bestie, this is the dsc-data...ometheus(7) page from the Miscellaneous Information Manual, section 7, we're vibing here)

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

dsc-datatool --output ";Prometheus;<options...>"

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This output generates Prometheus importable output to stdout or to a file you specify. Slay 💅

🌸 Prometheus' node_exporter 🌸

Okay so this one is highkey important: you can run this output alongside Prometheus' node_exporter's Textfile Collector to automate your statistics gathering, but there are specific setup steps and requirements you absolutely have to meet, no skipping 🙈

  • You must hide the timestamp with option timestamp=hide — because timestamps are not supported by the Textfile Collector. Periodt.
  • You must make sure only one XML file from a server+node combination is processed at a time. Otherwise you get multiple data points for the same metric, and that generates errors from the Textfile Collector — since it does not support timestamps and cannot separate the measurements. It's giving chaos 💀
  • You must make sure that only one file (per server+node combo) is generated for the Textfile Collector to read, and it should be the same between runs. See the Textfile Collector's documentation for how to set that up atomically 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • timestamp=[hide|start|stop] — pick which timestamp from the dataset gets used in the Prometheus output to specify when the metrics took place. Defaults to the start timestamp ⭐
  • file=<filename> — point at a file to output to instead of stdout 🎀
  • append — if given, the output gets appended to the file specified rather than overwritten. (Not me being nice and not destroying your file 🫶)
  • prefix=<string> — use the given string as a prefix on all metric names ✨
