This module provides a HTTP interface for the Prometheus monitoring system, allowing it to fetch different statistics from OpenSIPS.
In order to use it, you have to explicitely define the statistics you want to provide by listing them in the statistics parameter.
Currently only counter and gauge metrics types are supported by the module, and whether to choose one or the other for a specific statistic is dictated by the way that statistic was defined either internally, or explicitely through the variable parameter of the statistics module.
Each exported statistic comes with a group label that indicates the group it belongs to.
Specifies the root metrics path Promethus uses to query the stats: http://[opensips_IP]:[opensips_httpd_port]/[root]
The default value is "metrics".
Appends a prefix to each statistic exported.
The default value is "opensips".
Appends a prefix to the name of the group the statistic belongs to.
The default value is "" (no group prefix).
Specifies the delimiter to be used to separate prefix and group_prefix.
The default value is "_".
Specifies the label used to store the group when group_mode is 2.
The default value is "group".
Specifies how the group of the statistic should be provisioned to Prometheus. Available modes are:
0 - do not send the statistics groups.
1 - send the group in the name of the statstic.
For example, timestamp statistic from the core group would be exported as opensips_core_timestamp. Note that the group_prefix is still attached to the group's name.2 - send the group as a label of the statstic.
The name of the label is specified by the group_label parameter.
The default value is 0 (do not specify the group).
The statistics that are being exported by OpenSIPS, separated by space. The list can also contain statistics groups's names - to do that, you shall add a colon (:) at the end of the groups's name.
If the all value is used, then the module will expose all available statistics - therefore any other settings of this parameter is useless;
This parameter can be defined multiple times.
The default value is empty: no metric is exported.
Example 1.7. Set statistics parameter
...
# export the number of active dialogs and the load statistics class
modparam("prometheus", "statistics", "active_dialogs load:")
...
Rules that define how to convert the name of a statistic within a group to obtain the name and set of labels to be pushed in Prometheus.
The format is group: regex, where group represents the group of statistics for whom the regular expression should be applied for, and regexp is a regular expression used to match the statistic's name and convert it to the desired name and labels.
The regex format is /matching_expression/substitution_expression/flags. The substitution_expression resulted after the substituion should result in a string with the following format: name:labels, where name represents the name of the statistic as it will be pushed towards Prometheus, and labels the labels, expressed as key=value pairs separated by comma, as they are received by Prometheus. Note that the labels string resulted is concatenated to the other labeles as plain string - no other transformations are performed.
If a statistic's name within the declared group does not match the regular, or the resulted format does not comply with the name:labels format, the statistics transformations are ignored and it shall be printed as a regular statistic, as if the rule was not even used.
This parameter can be defined multiple times, even for a single group. However, if the statistic matches multiple regular expressions, only the first regular expression that matches is considered. The order they are checked is the order declared in the script.
The default value is empty: statistic name is provided.
Example 1.8. Set statistics parameter
...
# convert duration_gateway to stat duration with gateway as a label
modparam("prometheus", "labels", "group: /^(.*)_(.*)$/\1:gateway=\"\2\"/")
...
In order to have Prometheus query OpenSIPS for statistics, you need to tell him where to get statistics from. To do that, you should define a scarpe job in Prometheus's scrape_configs config, indicating the IP and port you've configured the httpd module to listen on (default: 0.0.0.0:8888).
Example 1.9. Prometheus Scrape Config
scrape_configs:
- job_name: opensips
static_configs:
- targets: ['localhost:8888']
