Apache Exporter for Prometheus

Exports apache mod_status statistics via HTTP for Prometheus consumption.

With working golang environment it can be built with go get. There is a good article with build HOWTO and usage example.

Help on flags:

  -insecure
    	Ignore server certificate if using https. (default false)
  -log.level value
    	Only log messages with the given severity or above. Valid levels: [debug, info, warn, error, fatal, panic]. (default info)
  -scrape_uri string
    	URI to apache stub status page. (default "http://localhost/server-status/?auto")
  -telemetry.address string
    	Address on which to expose metrics. (default ":9117")
  -telemetry.endpoint string
    	Path under which to expose metrics. (default "/metrics")
  -version
    	Version of the Apache exporter.

Tested on Apache 2.2 and Apache 2.4.

If your server-status page is secured by http auth, add the credentials to the scrape URL following this example:

http://user:password@localhost/server-status?auto

Using Docker

Build

Run the following commands from the project root directory.

docker build -t apache_exporter .

Run

docker run -d -p 9117:9117 apache_exporter \
  -scrape_uri "https://your.server.com/server-status/?auto"

Collectors

Apache metrics:

# HELP apache_accesses_total Current total apache accesses (*)
# TYPE apache_accesses_total counter
# HELP apache_scoreboard Apache scoreboard statuses
# TYPE apache_scoreboard gauge
# HELP apache_sent_kilobytes_total Current total kbytes sent (*)
# TYPE apache_sent_kilobytes_total counter
# HELP apache_cpu_load CPU Load (*)
# TYPE apache_cpu_load gauge
# HELP apache_up Could the apache server be reached
# TYPE apache_up gauge
# HELP apache_uptime_seconds_total Current uptime in seconds (*)
# TYPE apache_uptime_seconds_total counter
# HELP apache_workers Apache worker statuses
# TYPE apache_workers gauge

Exporter process metrics:

# HELP http_request_duration_microseconds The HTTP request latencies in microseconds.
# TYPE http_request_duration_microseconds summary
# HELP http_request_size_bytes The HTTP request sizes in bytes.
# TYPE http_request_size_bytes summary
# HELP http_response_size_bytes The HTTP response sizes in bytes.
# TYPE http_response_size_bytes summary
# HELP process_cpu_seconds_total Total user and system CPU time spent in seconds.
# TYPE process_cpu_seconds_total counter
# HELP process_max_fds Maximum number of open file descriptors.
# TYPE process_max_fds gauge
# HELP process_open_fds Number of open file descriptors.
# TYPE process_open_fds gauge
# HELP process_resident_memory_bytes Resident memory size in bytes.
# TYPE process_resident_memory_bytes gauge
# HELP process_start_time_seconds Start time of the process since unix epoch in seconds.
# TYPE process_start_time_seconds gauge
# HELP process_virtual_memory_bytes Virtual memory size in bytes.
# TYPE process_virtual_memory_bytes gauge

Metrics marked '(*)' are only available if ExtendedStatus is On in apache webserver configuration. In version 2.3.6, loading mod_status will toggle ExtendedStatus On by default.
