- prometheus exporters are now configured with
`services.prometheus.exporters.<name>`
- the exporters are now defined by attribute sets
from which the options for each exporter are generated
- most of the exporter definitions are used unchanged,
except for some changes that should't have any impact
on the functionality.
Alertmanager 0.13.0 doesn't support single dash long options, so '-config.file'
for example is parsed as '-c', which leads to the service not starting.
The behaviour have changed again. Listed collectors are now enabled in
addition to the default one.
Also run as DynmicUser instead of user nobody as the exporter doesn't need
any state.
* prometheus-collectd-exporter service: init module
Supports JSON and binary (optional) protocol
of collectd.
* nixos/prometheus-collectd-exporter: submodule is not needed for collectdBinary
The reason being less mental overhead when reading upstream
documentation. Examples can be pasted right into the configuration
instead of translating to Nix attrset first.
The current default value of listenAddress = null blows up:
$ nixos-rebuild build
error: cannot coerce null to a string, at
.../nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/monitoring/prometheus/alertmanager.nix:97:16
With listenAddress = "" we use the same default as upstream and there is
no blow up :-)
...by providing a default value of "no labels" (an empty attrset).
Without this change we get
$ nixos-rebuild test -I nixpkgs=.
building Nix...
building the system configuration...
error: The option `services.prometheus.scrapeConfigs.[definition 1-entry 1].static_configs.[definition 1-entry 1].labels' is used but not defined.
which is unneeded, because labels _are_ optional.
The structured options are incomplete compared to upstream and I think
it will be a maintenance burden to try to keep up. Instead, provide an
option for the raw config file contents (prometheus.yml).
