apk-exporter 0.1.1

Prometheus exporter for apk-tools

apk-exporter

apk-exporter is a Prometheus exporter for monitoring apk-tools. It provides metrics like installed, upgradable, and orphaned packages, which can be exported to a Prometheus Pushgateway or written to a text file to be parsed by node-exporter.

Requirements

• Python 3.8 or higher
• prometheus_client python library
• apk package manager

Usage

Run apk_exporter.py regulary (for example every hour).

Use --textfile to export as a text file, or use --pushgateway to push to a gateway. See --help for all options.

Import text file to node-exporter

Add the destination folder (/tmp by default) as the node_exporter arguments, like this: --collector.textfile.directory /tmp.

If you're using a node-exporter OpenRC service, you can add the arguments to /etc/conf.d/node-exporter:

ARGS="--collector.textfile.directory /tmp"
