Prometheus RPM Packages
The repository contains the files needed to build Prometheus RPM packages
for CentOS 6 & 7.
Installing
The packages are available in the packagecloud repository and can be used
by adding the following /etc/yum.repos.d/prometheus.repo:
CentOS 7
[prometheus]
name=prometheus
baseurl=https://packagecloud.io/prometheus-rpm/release/el/$releasever/$basearch
repo_gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://packagecloud.io/prometheus-rpm/release/gpgkey
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lest/prometheus-rpm/master/RPM-GPG-KEY-prometheus-rpm
gpgcheck=1
metadata_expire=300
Adding a new exporter
Auto generation (CentOS 6 & 7)
- Add a new section under
packagesintemplating.yamlwith the required information (overriding any defaults if required). - Create a new directory with the name of the exporter and populate it with a file named
<exporter_name>.defaultwhich will contain the default environment variables passed to the init and unit files. - Once this is done add this exporter to the list of
AUTO_GENERATEDexpoters inMakefile. - Test that you can build this RPM using the command
make <exporter_name>.
Custom (CentOS 7 only)
- Add the exporter to the list of
PACKAGES7in the fileMakefile. - Make a new directory with the same name as the exporter.
- Populate this directory with all the required files to build the RPM.
- Test that you can build this RPM using the command
make <exporter_name>.
Build RPMs manually
Build all packages with:
make all
or build a single package only, e.g.:
make node_exporter
The resulting RPMs will be created in the _dist6 or _dist7 directory depending on the version of CentOS that they were built for. builds in _dist6 may also work for el5.
Ansible role
An Ansible role which installs Prometheus packages from these RPMs is
available in Github or in Galaxy.
