README
# Note: The exporter is no longer maintained
# vcsa-exporter
This is an exporter using [vCenter Server Appliance (Management) API](https://code.vmware.com/apis/60/vcenter-server-appliance-management) via REST.
Idea is, to have different collectors for the different REST paths, since their output is very different (and therefore the parsing).
Current collectors:
* `vmon/service`: vCSA service health states.
* `logging/forwarding`: Checks the log forwarding to syslog hosts.
## Running the exporter
The exporter is supporting master password (mpw). If you aren't using it, you can specify a dedicated pw, which will take precedence. Let's give an example with a dedicated password:
```
python3 exporter.py -a vcenter.json -o 9010 -u "username" -p "password"
```
You can use the given Dockerfile to build and use the docker container for an easy rampup
```
make
docker run -it vcsa-exporter:0.1 sh
```
We are using [atlas](https://github.com/sapcc/atlas) http service endpoint to get `vcenter.json` served automatically; built from netbox. However, you can assemlbe the file on your own too:
```json
[
{
"targets": [
"10.10.10.15"
],
"labels": {
"job": "vcenter",
"metrics_label": "vcenter",
"role": "virtual-appliance",
"server_id": "1",
"server_name": "some-vcenter.localdomain",
"state": "Active"
}
}
]
```
## Adding a collector
A new collector has to go to `collectors/`. Respective API call goes to `rest.yaml`.
Maybe this is going to be supplemented by some endpoint discovery in future, feel free to add it if you love to have it.
