Problems runing exporter

[ruben-herold]

@hnlq715 sorry forget to say that the platform is centos 7

[ruben-herold]

@hnlq715 same with build from current master. Seems todo nothing and don't send any error messages. Not even the timeout prints something out. Started now with:

./nginx-vts-exporter -nginx.scrape_uri=http://ngnx-01.example.org/format/json -telemetry.endpoint=http://[::1]:9090/metrics -nginx.scrape_timeout=1

[sysulq]

You need to curl localhost:9090/metrics to get output data

[ruben-herold]

Why localhost? My setup ist:

ngnx-01.example.org <-- ngnix webserver with vts module enabled
ngnx-stats01.example.org <-- Server with prometheus and nginx-vts-exporter

ngnx-stats01.example.org can reach http://ngnx-01.example.org/format/json and get the metrics via curl

ngnx-stats01.example.org has the prometheus listen on [::1]:9090

I start the exporter with:

./nginx-vts-exporter -nginx.scrape_uri=http://ngnx-01.example.org/format/json -telemetry.endpoint=http://[::1]:9090/metrics -nginx.scrape_timeout=1

and nothing happend. No Output no data import in prometheus, no network traffic in tcpdump.

[sysulq]

prometheus -> nginx-vtx-exporter -> nginx with vts

nginx-vts-exporter would pull metrics from nginx unless prometheus send pull request.

And I think you just misunderstood this concept.

Ah ok sorry now I'm fine :-)

[ruben-herold]

Great works now, you should write some more documentation even for people that are not familiar with go and prometheus

[sysulq]

Sure, thanks for your advise.
