NETGEAR switch metrics scrapper
About
this is a foolish attempt to get metrics out of a managed netgear switch. I have tested it with my GS108Ev3.
[!CAUTION] there is no guarantee that this will work with your switch.
Since netgear does not provide an API it basically is webscraping from the port-monitor page. The scraper logs itself in and uses the returned cookie to continue scraping.
Known bugs
this whole construct is super fragile, sometimes the switch doesn't play nice and you get "banned" for around 5 minutes. it often continues.
Usage
the scraper expects two ENV variables:
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| REMOTE_IP | this is the IP of the switch |
| PASSWORD | the password used to authenticate against the webUI |
| LOCATION | where your switch is physically located |
the prometheus endpoint is at :8080/metrics.
Finally
No guarantees, no warranty, no nothing. You are on your own. If you have suggestions I'm happy for pull requests. It may take a super long time till I respond. Please don't file issues, I do this in my spare time. Feel free to fork :)
