radicale_exporter

A very simple Prometheus exporter for the Radicale CalDAV/CardDAV server

The exporter presents a metric radicale_requests which provides counters about the various HTTP request types (PROPFIND, PUT, DELETE, ...). Additionally, a metric radicale_up tells if the exporter was able to contact the Radicale server via its TCP socket.

Events are read from a duplicated Radicale logfile. See the logging file for how to configure logging to two targets. Metrics can be scraped via the /metrics endpoint.

Note that the input file will be truncated with each scrape to avoid duplicate events.

  -s, --scrapeinterval=15                                          Prometheus scrape interval
  -r, --radicale=":5232"                                           address:port to contact Radicale on
  -d, --debug                                                      more output and skip TCP socket check
