Discover docker containers to scrape based on labels
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
This tool aims at discovering containers running
|
|
with `prometheus.io/scrape=true` annotations
|
|
from a given docker engine, and auto-configure prometheus for scraping.
|
|
|
|
This tool is standalone and write the discovered containers (services) in a file,
|
|
which is in turn passed to Prometheus file service discovery to start the scraping jobs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Example via a docker-compose
|
|
|
|
The following part is giving a complete example of configuring the docker-labels discovery mechanism.
|
|
It is based in three parts, namely:
|
|
- Configure prometheus-docker-labels-discovery
|
|
- Configure Prometheus file_sd_configs
|
|
- Configure your services
|
|
|
|
## Configure prometheus-docker-labels-discovery
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
prometheus-docker-labels-discovery:
|
|
image: sqooba/prometheus-docker-labels-discovery:v1
|
|
restart: unless-stopped
|
|
networks:
|
|
- monitoring_default # make sure this network exists and is connected to prometheus
|
|
# ports:
|
|
# - "8080"
|
|
security_opt:
|
|
- no-new-privileges:true
|
|
volumes: # Mount the JSON file that will be exchanged with prometheus
|
|
- ./from-docker-labels.json:/tmp/from-docker-labels.json
|
|
environment:
|
|
- PROMETHEUS_CONFIG_FILE_PATH=/tmp/from-docker-labels.json
|
|
- DOCKER_NETWORK_NAME=bridge
|
|
- PROMETHEUS_COMMON_LABELS=commonlabel1=commonvalue1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configure Prometheus
|
|
|
|
Prometheus needs to be configured using [file_sd_configs](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#file_sd_config)
|
|
scrape config.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
scrape_configs:
|
|
- job_name: 'docker-labels-sd'
|
|
file_sd_configs:
|
|
- files:
|
|
- 'from-docker-labels.json'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configure your services
|
|
|
|
Any service can now be configured using [docker labels](https://docs.docker.com/config/labels-custom-metadata/).
|
|
The following example shows in docker-compose style how this looks like:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
services:
|
|
test-metrics:
|
|
image: dummy-metrics:v1
|
|
labels:
|
|
- "prometheus.io/scrape=true"
|
|
- "prometheus.io/path=/metrics"
|
|
- "prometheus.io/extra-labels=k1:v1,k2:v2"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The exhaustive list of labels to configure properly your service is provided below:
|
|
|
|
| Annotation | Definition | Example |
|
|
| ---------- | ---------- | ------- |
|
|
| `prometheus.io/scrape` | Main label to ensure this container will be scraped by Prometheus. Required value is `true`. Any other value will not be considered. | `prometheus.io/scrape=true`|
|
|
| `prometheus.io/port` | Specify which port to use for the scraping. In case of a single port exposed, this configuration can be omitted. | `prometheus.io/port=8080` |
|
|
| `prometheus.io/path` | Alternative path for scraping the metrics. Default from Prometheus is `/`. | `prometheus.io/path=/metrics` |
|
|
| `prometheus.io/scheme` | Alternative scheme for scraping thee metrics. Default from Prometheus is `http`. | `prometheus.io/scheme=https` |
|
|
| `prometheus.io/extra-labels` | Any extra labels to add to the metrics scraped for this container. Comma separated key:value pairs. | `prometheus.io/extra-labels=label1:value1,label2:value2,...` |
|
