Prometheus Elasticsearch exporter capable of working with large clusters.
**Caution you may overload Prometheus server by enabling all metrics**, exporter is capable to export over near 1 million metrics.
To avoid overloading Prometheus server run multiple Elasticsearch exporters that target just few specific metrics.
```bash
```
## Try it out with docker
```bash
$ docker run --network=host -it vinted/elasticsearch_exporter --elasticsearch_url=http://IP:PORT
```
## Features
- Metric collection is decoupled from serving `/metrics` page
- Skips zero/empty metrics (controlled with flag `exporter_allow_zero_metrics`)
- Elasticsearch "millis" converted to seconds
- Elasticsearch "kilobytes" converted to bytes
- All time based metrics are converted as f64 seconds, keywords `millis` replaced with `seconds`
- Added `_bytes` and `_seconds` postfix
- Preserves metrics tree namespace up to last leaf
- elasticsearch_cat_indices_pri_warmer_total_time_seconds_bucket
- elasticsearch_cat_health_unassign
- elasticsearch_nodes_info_jvm_mem_heap_max_in_bytes
- Custom namespace labels `vin_cluster_version` for convenient comparison of metrics between cluster versions
- Automatic cluster metadata updates every 5 minutes
- /_nodes/* API additional labels injection by mapping node ID to fetched cluster metadata
- name (map from node ID to name) namespaced -> `name`
- version (Elasticsearch node version) namespaced to `vin_cluster_version`
- IP namespaced -> `ip`
- Automatic metrics deletion based on lifetime settings, by default metric by value will be
deleted after 600s since last occurrence.
- Metric names are normalized to snake case, colon is replaced with underscore, brackets are replaced with colon (:)
- "transport_actions_cluster:monitor/nodes/info[n]_requests_count" -> "transport_actions_cluster_monitor_nodes_info:n:_requests_count"
- "transport_actions_internal:cluster/coordination/join/ping_requests_count" -> "transport_actions_internal_cluster_coordination_join_ping_requests_count"
## Options
- Configurable labels "skip" and/or "include" (flags: `exporter_include_labels`, `exporter_skip_labels`)
- Configurable skip metrics (controlled with (flag `exporter_skip_metrics`)
- Configurable global timeout (flag `elasticsearch_global_timeout`)
- Configurable global polling interval (flag `exporter_poll_default_interval`)
- Configurable per metric polling interval (flag `exporter_poll_intervals`)
- Configurable metrics collection (flag `exporter_metrics_enabled`)
- Configurable metrics namespace (flag `exporter_metrics_namespace`): metrics will be prefixed with custom namespace instead of `elasticsearch`
- Configurable metadata collection (flag `exporter_metadata_refresh_interval`)
## TLS validation
The certificate path is defined via flag `--elasticsearch_certificate_path=CERTIFICATE_PATH`.
By default TLS validation is enabled, you don't have to configure anything.
Default validation of the certificate, which validates that the certificate provided by the
server is signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) and also verifies that the server’s hostname
(or IP address) matches the names identified by the CommonName (CN) or Subject Alternative
Name (SAN) within the certificate.
### No validation
No validation is performed on the certificate provided by the server.
Provide a flag `--elasticsearch_certificate_validation=none`
### Full validation
Full validation of the certificate, which validates that the certificate provided by the
server is signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) and also verifies that the server’s hostname
(or IP address) matches the names identified by the CommonName (CN) or Subject Alternative
Name (SAN) within the certificate.
Provide a flag `--elasticsearch_certificate_validation=full`
### Partial validation
Validates that the certificate provided by the server is signed by a trusted
Certificate Authority (CA), but does not perform hostname verification.
Provide a flag `--elasticsearch_certificate_validation=partial`
## Usage cheat sheet
Scraping `/_nodes/stats` subsystem thread_pool path metric
```
$ docker run --network=host -it vinted/elasticsearch_exporter --elasticsearch_url=http://IP:PORT --exporter_metrics_enabled="nodes_stats=true" --elasticsearch_path_parameters="nodes_stats=thread_pool"
```
Scraping `/_nodes/stats` subsystem thread_pool + fs paths metric
```
$ docker run --network=host -it vinted/elasticsearch_exporter --elasticsearch_url=http://IP:PORT --exporter_metrics_enabled="nodes_stats=true" --elasticsearch_path_parameters="nodes_stats=thread_pool,fs"
```
Scraping `/stats` for `total.indexing` and `total.search` metrics only
```
$ docker run --network=host -it vinted/elasticsearch_exporter --elasticsearch_url=http://IP:PORT --exporter_metrics_enabled="stats=true" --elasticsearch_query_filter_path="stats=indices.*.total.indexing,indices.*.total.search"
```
Scraping `/_cat/shards` for `search.fetch*` metrics only. In this case `elasticsearch_query_filter_path` must always include `index,shard`, and dotted format is not supported. Example:
```
$ docker run --network=host -it vinted/elasticsearch_exporter --elasticsearch_url=http://IP:PORT --exporter_metrics_enabled="cat_shards=true" --elasticsearch_query_filter_path="cat_shards=index,shard,search*fetch*"
```
```shell
$ curl -s http://127.0.0.1:9222
