openstack-exporter

exporter to extract custom metrics from OpenStack

This is an exporter using OpenStack SDK. There is only 1 exporter new, which is for cinder to export the volume driver backend stats.

Running the exporter

The exporter should be installed with

pip install .

Now run the exporter passing in the config.yaml

openstack_exporter --config <path to openstack-config.yaml>

In case you want your secrets stored somewhere else, e.g. when they come from a k8s Secret, you can provide them with the extra --secrets option

openstack_exporter --config <path to openstack-config.yaml> --secrets <path to openstack-secrets.yaml>

You can use the given Dockerfile to build and use the docker container for an easy rampup

make
docker run -it openstack-exporter:0.1 sh

Adding a collector

You can add a new collector to openstack_exporter/collectors. Then you must add the call to the collector in openstack_exporter/exporter.py

REGISTRY.register(myexporter.Myexporter(openstack_config))
