Prometheus Input Plugin

The prometheus input plugin gathers metrics from HTTP servers exposing metrics in Prometheus format.

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Read metrics from one or many prometheus clients
[[inputs.prometheus]]
  ## An array of urls to scrape metrics from.
  urls = ["http://localhost:9100/metrics"]

  ## Metric version controls the mapping from Prometheus metrics into Telegraf metrics.
  ## See "Metric Format Configuration" in plugins/inputs/prometheus/README.md for details.
  ## Valid options: 1, 2
  # metric_version = 1

  ## Url tag name (tag containing scrapped url. optional, default is "url")
  # url_tag = "url"

  ## Whether the timestamp of the scraped metrics will be ignored.
  ## If set to true, the gather time will be used.
  # ignore_timestamp = false

  ## Override content-type of the returned message
  ## Available options are for prometheus:
  ##   text, protobuf-delimiter, protobuf-compact, protobuf-text,
  ## and for openmetrics:
  ##   openmetrics-text, openmetrics-protobuf
  ## By default the content-type of the response is used.
  # content_type_override = ""

  ## An array of Kubernetes services to scrape metrics from.
  # kubernetes_services = ["http://my-service-dns.my-namespace:9100/metrics"]

  ## Kubernetes config file to create client from.
  # kube_config = "/path/to/kubernetes.config"

  ## Scrape Pods
  ## Enable scraping of k8s pods. Further settings as to which pods to scape
  ## are determiend by the 'method' option below. When enabled, the default is
  ## to use annotations to determine whether to scrape or not.
  # monitor_kubernetes_pods = false

  ## Scrape Pods Method
  ## annotations: default, looks for specific pod annotations documented below
  ## settings: only look for pods matching the settings provided, not
  ##   annotations
  ## settings+annotations: looks at pods that match annotations using the user
  ##   defined settings
  # monitor_kubernetes_pods_method = "annotations"

  ## Scrape Pods 'annotations' method options
  ## If set method is set to 'annotations' or 'settings+annotations', these
  ## annotation flags are looked for:
  ## - prometheus.io/scrape: Required to enable scraping for this pod. Can also
  ##     use 'prometheus.io/scrape=false' annotation to opt-out entirely.
  ## - prometheus.io/scheme: If the metrics endpoint is secured then you will
  ##     need to set this to 'https' & most likely set the tls config
  ## - prometheus.io/path: If the metrics path is not /metrics, define it with
  ##     this annotation
  ## - prometheus.io/port: If port is not 9102 use this annotation

  ## Scrape Pods 'settings' method options
  ## When using 'settings' or 'settings+annotations', the default values for
  ## annotations can be modified using with the following options:
  # monitor_kubernetes_pods_scheme = "http"
  # monitor_kubernetes_pods_port = "9102"
  # monitor_kubernetes_pods_path = "/metrics"

  ## Get the list of pods to scrape with either the scope of
  ## - cluster: the kubernetes watch api (default, no need to specify)
  ## - node: the local cadvisor api; for scalability. Note that the config node_ip or the environment variable NODE_IP must be set to the host IP.
  # pod_scrape_scope = "cluster"

  ## Only for node scrape scope: node IP of the node that telegraf is running on.
  ## Either this config or the environment variable NODE_IP must be set.
  # node_ip = "10.180.1.1"

  ## Only for node scrape scope: interval in seconds for how often to get updated pod list for scraping.
  ## Default is 60 seconds.
  # pod_scrape_interval = 60

  ## Content length limit
  ## When set, telegraf will drop responses with length larger than the configured value.
  ## Default is "0KB" which means unlimited.
  # content_length_limit = "0KB"

  ## Restricts Kubernetes monitoring to a single namespace
  ##   ex: monitor_kubernetes_pods_namespace = "default"
  # monitor_kubernetes_pods_namespace = ""
  ## The name of the label for the pod that is being scraped.
  ## Default is 'namespace' but this can conflict with metrics that have the label 'namespace'
  # pod_namespace_label_name = "namespace"
  # label selector to target pods which have the label
  # kubernetes_label_selector = "env=dev,app=nginx"
  # field selector to target pods
  # eg. To scrape pods on a specific node
  # kubernetes_field_selector = "spec.nodeName=$HOSTNAME"

  ## Filter which pod annotations and labels will be added to metric tags
  #
  # pod_annotation_include = ["annotation-key-1"]
  # pod_annotation_exclude = ["exclude-me"]
  # pod_label_include = ["label-key-1"]
  # pod_label_exclude = ["exclude-me"]

  # cache refresh interval to set the interval for re-sync of pods list.
  # Default is 60 minutes.
  # cache_refresh_interval = 60

  ## Scrape Services available in Consul Catalog
  # [inputs.prometheus.consul]
  #   enabled = true
  #   agent = "http://localhost:8500"
  #   query_interval = "5m"

  #   [[inputs.prometheus.consul.query]]
  #     name = "a service name"
  #     tag = "a service tag"
  #     url = 'http://{{if ne .ServiceAddress ""}}{{.ServiceAddress}}{{else}}{{.Address}}{{end}}:{{.ServicePort}}/{{with .ServiceMeta.metrics_path}}{{.}}{{else}}metrics{{end}}'
  #     [inputs.prometheus.consul.query.tags]
  #       host = "{{.Node}}"

  ## Use bearer token for authorization. ('bearer_token' takes priority)
  # bearer_token = "/path/to/bearer/token"
  ## OR
  # bearer_token_string = "abc_123"

  ## HTTP Basic Authentication username and password. ('bearer_token' and
  ## 'bearer_token_string' take priority)
  # username = ""
  # password = ""

  ## Optional custom HTTP headers
  # http_headers = {"X-Special-Header" = "Special-Value"}

  ## Specify timeout duration for slower prometheus clients (default is 5s)
  # timeout = "5s"

  ## This option is now used by the HTTP client to set the header response
  ## timeout, not the overall HTTP timeout.
  # response_timeout = "5s"

  ## HTTP Proxy support
  # use_system_proxy = false
  # http_proxy_url = ""

  ## Optional TLS Config
  # tls_ca = /path/to/cafile
  # tls_cert = /path/to/certfile
  # tls_key = /path/to/keyfile

  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false

  ## Use the given name as the SNI server name on each URL
  # tls_server_name = "myhost.example.org"

  ## TLS renegotiation method, choose from "never", "once", "freely"
  # tls_renegotiation_method = "never"

  ## Enable/disable TLS
  ## Set to true/false to enforce TLS being enabled/disabled. If not set,
  ## enable TLS only if any of the other options are specified.
  # tls_enable = true

  ## This option allows you to report the status of prometheus requests.
  # enable_request_metrics = false

  ## Control pod scraping based on pod namespace annotations
  ## Pass and drop here act like tagpass and tagdrop, but instead
  ## of filtering metrics they filters pod candidates for scraping
  #[inputs.prometheus.namespace_annotation_pass]
  # annotation_key = ["value1", "value2"]
  #[inputs.prometheus.namespace_annotation_drop]
  # some_annotation_key = ["dont-scrape"]

urls can contain a unix socket as well. If a different path is required (default is /metrics for both http[s] and unix) for a unix socket, add path as a query parameter as follows: unix:///var/run/prometheus.sock?path=/custom/metrics

Metric Format Configuration

The metric_version setting controls how telegraf translates prometheus format metrics to telegraf metrics. There are two options.

With metric_version = 1, the prometheus metric name becomes the telegraf metric name. Prometheus labels become telegraf tags. Prometheus values become telegraf field values. The fields have generic keys based on the type of the prometheus metric. This option produces metrics that are dense (not sparse). Denseness is a useful property for some outputs, including those that are more efficient with row-oriented data.

metric_version = 2 differs in a few ways. The prometheus metric name becomes a telegraf field key. Metrics hold more than one value and the field keys aren't generic. The resulting metrics are sparse, but for some outputs they may be easier to process or query, including those that are more efficient with column-oriented data. The telegraf metric name is the same for all metrics in the input instance. It can be set with the name_override setting and defaults to "prometheus". To have multiple metric names, you can use multiple instances of the plugin, each with its own name_override.

metric_version = 2 uses the same histogram format as the histogram aggregator

The Example Outputs sections shows examples for both options.

When using this plugin along with the prometheus_client output, use the same option in both to ensure metrics are round-tripped without modification.

Kubernetes Service Discovery

URLs listed in the kubernetes_services parameter will be expanded by looking up all A records assigned to the hostname as described in Kubernetes DNS service discovery.

This method can be used to locate all Kubernetes headless services.

Kubernetes scraping

Enabling this option will allow the plugin to scrape for prometheus annotation on Kubernetes pods. Currently, you can run this plugin in your kubernetes cluster, or we use the kubeconfig file to determine where to monitor. Currently the following annotation are supported:

  • prometheus.io/scrape Enable scraping for this pod.
  • prometheus.io/scheme If the metrics endpoint is secured then you will need to set this to https & most likely set the tls config. (default 'http')
  • prometheus.io/path Override the path for the metrics endpoint on the service. (default '/metrics')
  • prometheus.io/port Used to override the port. (default 9102)

Using the monitor_kubernetes_pods_namespace option allows you to limit which pods you are scraping.

The setting pod_namespace_label_name allows you to change the label name for the namespace of the pod you are scraping. The default is namespace, but this will overwrite a label with the name namespace from a metric scraped.

Using pod_scrape_scope = "node" allows more scalable scraping for pods which will scrape pods only in the node that telegraf is running. It will fetch the pod list locally from the node's kubelet. This will require running Telegraf in every node of the cluster. Note that either node_ip must be specified in the config or the environment variable NODE_IP must be set to the host IP. ThisThe latter can be done in the yaml of the pod running telegraf:

env:
  - name: NODE_IP
    valueFrom:
      fieldRef:
        fieldPath: status.hostIP

If using node level scrape scope, pod_scrape_interval specifies how often (in seconds) the pod list for scraping should updated. If not specified, the default is 60 seconds.

The pod running telegraf will need to have the proper rbac configuration in order to be allowed to call the k8s api to discover and watch pods in the cluster. A typical configuration will create a service account, a cluster role with the appropriate rules and a cluster role binding to tie the cluster role to the service account. Example of configuration for cluster level discovery:

---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRole
metadata:
  name: telegraf-k8s-role-{{.Release.Name}}
rules:
- apiGroups: [""]
  resources:
  - nodes
  - nodes/proxy
  - services
  - endpoints
  - pods
  verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
---
# Rolebinding for namespace to cluster-admin
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
  name: telegraf-k8s-role-{{.Release.Name}}
roleRef:
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: telegraf-k8s-role-{{.Release.Name}}
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
  name: telegraf-k8s-{{ .Release.Name }}
  namespace: {{ .Release.Namespace }}
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
  name: telegraf-k8s-{{ .Release.Name }}
Consul Service Discovery

Enabling this option and configuring consul agent url will allow the plugin to query consul catalog for available services. Using query_interval the plugin will periodically query the consul catalog for services with name and tag and refresh the list of scraped urls. It can use the information from the catalog to build the scraped url and additional tags from a template.

Multiple consul queries can be configured, each for different service. The following example fields can be used in url or tag templates:

  • Node
  • Address
  • NodeMeta
  • ServicePort
  • ServiceAddress
  • ServiceTags
  • ServiceMeta

For full list of available fields and their type see struct CatalogService in https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/blob/master/api/catalog.go

Bearer Token

If set, the file specified by the bearer_token parameter will be read on each interval and its contents will be appended to the Bearer string in the Authorization header.

Usage for Caddy HTTP server

Steps to monitor Caddy with Telegraf's Prometheus input plugin:

[[inputs.prometheus]]
#   ## An array of urls to scrape metrics from.
  urls = ["http://localhost:2019/metrics"]

This is the default URL where Caddy will send data. For more details, please read the Caddy Prometheus documentation.

Metrics

Measurement names are based on the Metric Family and tags are created for each label. The value is added to a field named based on the metric type.

All metrics receive the url tag indicating the related URL specified in the Telegraf configuration. If using Kubernetes service discovery the address tag is also added indicating the discovered ip address.

  • prometheus_request
    • tags:
      • url
      • address
    • fields:
      • response_time (float, seconds)
      • content_length (int, response body length)

Output with timestamp included

Below is an example of a Prometheus metric which includes a timestamp:

# TYPE test_counter counter
test_counter{label="test"} 1 1685443805885

Telegraf will generate the following metric:

test_counter,address=127.0.0.1,label=test counter=1 1685443805885000000

using the standard configuration

[[inputs.prometheus]]
  ## An array of urls to scrape metrics from.
  urls = ["http://localhost:2019/metrics"]

Please note: Metrics generated by Prometheus endpoints are generated with millisecond precision. The default Telegraf agent level precision setting reduces this to seconds. Change the precision setting at agent or plugin level to milliseconds or smaller to report metric timestamps with full precision.
