Rare project developers

Hi Carmen,

The blog you are referring is unfortunately not up to date.

"server prometheus » is actually now using freeRtr sensors.

I'm glad as it is a good opportunity to update it !
Maybe if you are interested we can give you access to the blog in edit mode 
and you can help us updating it ?

Apart from that I presume that mc36 will come up with more details on 
exporting data via prometheus using sensor.

Basically it is a 2 steps process:

1) let’s activate 4 sensors:

!
sensor ifaces-hw
 path interfaces-hw/interface/counter
 prefix freertr-ifaces
 prepend iface_hw_byte_
 command sho inter hwsumm
 name 0 ifc=
 key name interfaces-hw/interface
 replace \. _
 column 1 name st
 column 1 replace admin -1
 column 1 replace down 0
 column 1 replace up 1
 column 2 name tx
 column 3 name rx
 column 4 name dr
 exit
!
sensor ifaces-hwp
 path interfaces-hwp/interface/counter
 prefix freertr-ifaces
 prepend iface_hw_pack_
 command sho inter hwpsumm
 name 0 ifc=
 key name interfaces-hwp/interface
 replace \. _
 column 1 name st
 column 1 replace admin -1
 column 1 replace down 0
 column 1 replace up 1
 column 2 name tx
 column 3 name rx
 column 4 name dr  
 exit
!
sensor ifaces-sw
 path interfaces-sw/interface/counter
 prefix freertr-ifaces
 prepend iface_sw_byte_
 command sho inter swsumm
 name 0 ifc=
 key name interfaces-sw/interface
 replace \. _
 column 1 name st
 column 1 replace admin -1
 column 1 replace down 0
 column 1 replace up 1
 column 2 name tx
 column 3 name rx
 column 4 name dr
 exit
!
sensor ifaces-swp
 path interfaces-swp/interface/counter
 prefix freertr-ifaces
 prepend iface_sw_pack_
 command sho inter swpsumm
 name 0 ifc=
 key name interfaces-swp/interface
 replace \. _
 column 1 name st
 column 1 replace admin -1
 column 1 replace down 0
 column 1 replace up 1
 column 2 name tx
 column 3 name rx
 column 4 name dr
 exit
!

Then activate prometheus server:

server prometheus pr
 sensor ifaces-hw
 sensor ifaces-hwp
 sensor ifaces-sw
 sensor ifaces-swp
 interface tunnel123 <put source  interface of your promtheus target>
 vrf <PUT VRF where your prometheus server_is_>
 exit

And you are good to go.

They are more sensors, this is a totally dynamic way to reflect FreeRtr 
visibility and make it available to external prometheus server.

PS: Please let me know if you are willing to edit the Blog and I’ll arrange 
to grant you relevant access !  :)

All the best,
Frederic
