## Dashboards and alerts

Example dashboards and alerts for this exporter are included in the
mixin directory, in the form of a jsonnet monitoring mixin. They
are designed to be combined with the [prometheus-ksonnet](https://github.com/kausalco/public/tree/master/prometheus-ksonnet) package.

To install this mixin, use [ksonnet](https://ksonnet.io/):

```sh
$ ks registry add vault_exporter https://github.com/grapeshot/vault_exporter
$ ks pkg install vault_exporter/vault-mixin
```

Then to use, in your `main.jsonnet` file:

```js
local prometheus = (import "prometheus-ksonnet/prometheus-ksonnet.libsonnet");
local vault = (import "vault-mixin/mixin.libsonnet");

prometheus + vault {
jobs+: {
vault: "/",
},
}
```
