OpenTSDB Exporter

A daemon that takes the URL of an OpenTSDB server and exposes Prometheus metrics based on data scraped from OpenTSDB's stats API.

See OpenTSDB's API documentation on the stats endpoint.

Tested on OpenTSDB 2.3.

Prerequisites

To use the OpenTSDB exporter, you'll need:

• an OpenTSDB cluster

To build, you'll need:

• Make
• Go 1.8 or above
• a working GOPATH

Limitations

The metrics generated are translated one-to-one from the metrics exposed on the stats endpoint, so do not follow the Prometheus metric naming conventions. This is primarily to keep the code simple.

How to run

go get -u github.com/cloudflare/opentsdb_exporter
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/cloudflare/opentsdb_exporter
make
./opentsdb_exporter

How to run the tests

make tests
