### Filtering enabled collectors
|
|
|
|
The `windows_exporter` will expose all metrics from enabled collectors by default. This is the recommended way to collect metrics to avoid errors when comparing metrics of different families.
|
|
|
|
For advanced use the `windows_exporter` can be passed an optional list of collectors to filter metrics. The `collect[]` parameter may be used multiple times. In Prometheus configuration you can use this syntax under the [scrape config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#<scrape_config>).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
params:
|
|
collect[]:
|
|
- foo
|
|
- bar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This can be useful for having different Prometheus servers collect specific metrics from nodes.
|
|
|
|
## Flags
|
|
|
|
windows_exporter accepts flags to configure certain behaviours. The ones configuring the global behaviour of the exporter are listed below, while collector-specific ones are documented in the respective collector documentation above.
|
|
|
|
Flag | Description | Default value
|
|
---------|-------------|--------------------
|
|
`--web.listen-address` | host:port for exporter. | `:9182`
|
|
`--telemetry.path` | URL path for surfacing collected metrics. | `/metrics`
|
|
`--telemetry.max-requests` | Maximum number of concurrent requests. 0 to disable. | `5`
|
|
`--collectors.enabled` | Comma-separated list of collectors to use. Use `[defaults]` as a placeholder which gets expanded containing all the collectors enabled by default." | `[defaults]`
|
|
`--collectors.print` | If true, print available collectors and exit. |
|
|
`--scrape.timeout-margin` | Seconds to subtract from the timeout allowed by the client. Tune to allow for overhead or high loads. | `0.5`
|
|
`--web.config.file` | A [web config][web_config] for setting up TLS and Auth | None
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
The latest release can be downloaded from the [releases page](https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter/releases).
|
|
|
|
Each release provides a .msi installer. The installer will setup the windows_exporter as a Windows service, as well as create an exception in the Windows Firewall.
|
|
|
|
If the installer is run without any parameters, the exporter will run with default settings for enabled collectors, ports, etc. The following parameters are available:
|
|
|
|
Name | Description
|
|
-----|------------
|
|
`ENABLED_COLLECTORS` | As the `--collectors.enabled` flag, provide a comma-separated list of enabled collectors
|
|
`LISTEN_ADDR` | The IP address to bind to. Defaults to 0.0.0.0
|
|
`LISTEN_PORT` | The port to bind to. Defaults to 9182.
|
|
`METRICS_PATH` | The path at which to serve metrics. Defaults to `/metrics`
|
|
`TEXTFILE_DIR` | As the `--collector.textfile.directory` flag, provide a directory to read text files with metrics from
|
|
`REMOTE_ADDR` | Allows setting comma separated remote IP addresses for the Windows Firewall exception (allow list). Defaults to an empty string (any remote address).
|
|
`EXTRA_FLAGS` | Allows passing full CLI flags. Defaults to an empty string.
|
|
|
|
Parameters are sent to the installer via `msiexec`. Example invocations:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
msiexec /i <path-to-msi-file> ENABLED_COLLECTORS=os,iis LISTEN_PORT=5000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example service collector with a custom query.
|
|
```powershell
|
|
msiexec /i <path-to-msi-file> ENABLED_COLLECTORS=os,service --% EXTRA_FLAGS="--collector.service.services-where ""Name LIKE 'sql%'"""
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On some older versions of Windows you may need to surround parameter values with double quotes to get the install command parsing properly:
|
|
```powershell
|
|
msiexec /i C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\windows_exporter.msi ENABLED_COLLECTORS="ad,iis,logon,memory,process,tcp,thermalzone" TEXTFILE_DIR="C:\custom_metrics\"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Kubernetes Implementation
|
|
|
|
See detailed steps to install on Windows Kubernetes [here](./kubernetes/kubernetes.md).
|
|
|
|
## Supported versions
|
|
|
|
windows_exporter supports Windows Server versions 2008R2 and later, and desktop Windows version 7 and later.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
go get -u github.com/prometheus/promu
|
|
go get -u github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter
|
|
cd $env:GOPATH/src/github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter
|
|
promu build -v
|
|
.\windows_exporter.exe
|
|
|
|
The prometheus metrics will be exposed on [localhost:9182](http://localhost:9182)
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
### Enable only service collector and specify a custom query
|
|
|
|
.\windows_exporter.exe --collectors.enabled "service" --collector.service.services-where "Name='windows_exporter'"
|
|
|
|
### Enable only process collector and specify a custom query
|
|
|
|
.\windows_exporter.exe --collectors.enabled "process" --collector.process.include="firefox.+"
|
|
|
|
When there are multiple processes with the same name, WMI represents those after the first instance as `process-name#index`. So to get them all, rather than just the first one, the [regular expression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression) must use `.+`. See [process](docs/collector.process.md) for more information.
|
|
|
|
### Using [defaults] with `--collectors.enabled` argument
|
|
|
|
Using `[defaults]` with `--collectors.enabled` argument which gets expanded with all default collectors.
|
|
|
|
.\windows_exporter.exe --collectors.enabled "[defaults],process,container"
|
|
|
|
This enables the additional process and container collectors on top of the defaults.
|
|
|
|
### Using a configuration file
|
|
|
|
YAML configuration files can be specified with the `--config.file` flag. e.g. `.\windows_exporter.exe --config.file=config.yml`. If you are using the absolute path, make sure to quote the path, e.g. `.\windows_exporter.exe --config.file="C:\Program Files\windows_exporter\config.yml"`
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
collectors:
|
|
enabled: cpu,cs,net,service
|
|
collector:
|
|
service:
|
|
services-where: "Name='windows_exporter'"
|
|
log:
|
|
level: warn
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
An example configuration file can be found [here](docs/example_config.yml).
|
|
|
|
#### Configuration file notes
|
|
|
|
Configuration file values can be mixed with CLI flags. E.G.
|
|
|
|
`.\windows_exporter.exe --collectors.enabled=cpu,logon`
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
log:
|
|
level: debug
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
CLI flags enjoy a higher priority over values specified in the configuration file.
