Boshupdate Prometheus Exporter

A Prometheus exporter that identifies out of date BOSH deployments.

It queries Github and fetches available releases of canonical BOSH manifests such as cf-deployment, then conciliates with actual running deployments fetched from BOSH director.

It is also capable of analyzing BOSH manifests in order to extract recommended versions of BOSH releases.

Installation

Binaries

Download the already existing binaries for your platform:

$ ./boshupdate_exporter <flags>

Docker

To run the boshupdate exporter as a Docker container, run:

$ docker run -p 9362:9362 orangeopensource/boshupdate-exporter <flags>

BOSH

This exporter can be deployed using the [Githubexporter BOSH Release][githubexporter-boshrelease].

Usage

Github Token

In order to connect to the Github API a token must be provided. The token can be created by following the Github HowTo

Bosh deployment prerequites

The exporter identifies the version of a running deployment by extracting the manifest_version.

This key is already built-in some canonical manifests like cf-deployment but must be manually added in others using the operator set-manifest-version.yml

- type: replace
  path: /manifest_version?
  value: v((version))

Exporter Configuration

The provided sample configuration is a good starting point.

list[string]

# String must be one or more of the following values:

• format

# Format tells how to parse detected release name into a version
format:
  match: <regexp>   # a regex to match release name
  replace: <string> # a replacement for matched release name

# When not provided, the default format value is
# format:
#   match: "v([0-9.]+)"
