PI-Hole Prometheus Exporter

This is a Prometheus exporter for PI-Hole's Raspberry PI ad blocker.

Prerequisites

• Go

Installation

Download binary

You can download the latest version of the binary built for your architecture here:

• Architecture i386 [ Darwin / Linux / Windows ]
• Architecture amd64 [ Darwin / Linux / Windows ]
• Architecture arm [ Linux ]

From sources

Optionally, you can download and build it from the sources. You have to retrieve the project sources by using one of the following way:

$ go get -u github.com/eko/pihole-exporter
# or
$ git clone https://github.com/eko/pihole-exporter.git

Then, build the binary (here, an example to run on Raspberry PI ARM architecture):

$ GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm GOARM=7 go build -o pihole_exporter .

Usage

In order to run the exporter, type the following command (arguments are optional):

$ ./pihole_exporter -pihole_hostname 192.168.1.10 -pihole_password azerty
