Fritz! exporter for prometheus

⚠️ v3.0.0 breaking change — action may be required The default listen address has changed from 0.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.1. If Prometheus scrapes this exporter over the network and you have not set listen_address / FRITZ_LISTEN_ADDRESS explicitly, the exporter will no longer be reachable after upgrading. Set listen_address: 0.0.0.0 in your config or FRITZ_LISTEN_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0 in your environment to restore the old behaviour. See the upgrade notes for full details including the home automation metric label change.

This is a prometheus exporter for AVM Fritz! home network devices commonly found in Europe. This exporter uses the devices builtin TR-064 API via the fritzconnection python module.

The exporter should work with Fritz!Box and Fritz!Repeater Devices (and maybe others). It actively checks for supported metrics and queries the for all devices configured (Yes, it has multi-device support for all you Mesh users out there.)

It has been tested against an AVM Fritz!Box 7590 (DSL), a Fritz!Box 5690 (fibre), a Fritz!Repeater 2400 and a Fritz!WLAN Repeater 1750E. If you have another box and data is missing, please file an issue or PR on GitHub.

Attention - Prometheus required

As the scope of this exporter lies on a typical home device, this also means that there are a lot of people interested in it, who may not have had any contact with Prometheus. As a result if this there have been some misunderstandings in the past, how this all works.

To avoid frustration you will need to know this:

You must setup and configure Prometheus separately! If you are running in plain docker or docker-compose there is a docker-compose setup for Prometheus at https://github.com/vegasbrianc/prometheus which also includes Grafana to actually produce dashboards. This may work out of the box or can be used as a starting point.

The whole setup required is:

• fritz_exporter: connects to your Fritz device, reads the metrics and makes them available in a format Prometheus understands
• prometheus: connects to the exporter at regular time intervals, reads the data and stores it in its database
• grafana: connects to prometheus and can query the database of metrics for timeseries and create dashboards from it.

You cannot connect grafana to the exporter directly. This will not work.

Please check the "Quickstart" in the documentation at ReadTheDocs for a simple setup.
