# Script Exporter

GitHub: https://github.com/adhocteam/script_exporter

Prometheus exporter written to execute and collect metrics on script exit status
and duration. Designed to allow the execution of probes where support for the
probe type wasn't easily configured with the Prometheus blackbox exporter.

Minimum supported Go Version: 1.13.1

## Sample Configuration

```yaml
scripts:
- name: success
script: sleep 5

- name: failure
script: sleep 2 && exit 1

- name: timeout
script: sleep 5
timeout: 1
```

## Running

You can run via docker with:

```
docker run -d -p 9172:9172 --name script-exporter \
-v `pwd`/script-exporter.yml:/etc/script-exporter/config.yml:ro \
adhocteam/script-exporter:master \
-config.file=/etc/script-exporter/config.yml \
-web.listen-address=":9172" \
-web.telemetry-path="/metrics" \
-config.shell="/bin/sh"
```

You'll need to customize the docker image or use the binary on the host system
to install tools such as curl for certain scenarios.

## Probing

To return the script exporter internal metrics exposed by the default Prometheus
handler:

`$ curl http://localhost:9172/metrics`

To execute a script, use the `name` parameter to the `/probe` endpoint:

`$ curl http://localhost:9172/probe?name=failure`

```
script_duration_seconds{script="failure"} 2.008337
script_success{script="failure"} 0
```

A regular expression may be specified with the `pattern` paremeter:

`$ curl http://localhost:9172/probe?pattern=.*`

```
script_duration_seconds{script="timeout"} 1.005727
script_success{script="timeout"} 0
script_duration_seconds{script="failure"} 2.015021
script_success{script="failure"} 0
script_duration_seconds{script="success"} 5.013670
script_success{script="success"} 1
```

## Design

YMMV if you're attempting to execute a large number of scripts, and you'd be
better off creating an exporter that can handle your protocol without launching
shell processes for each scrape.
