Prometheus exporter for SLA-like metrics. Currently supported are: cURL (http/https), DNS, Ping (ICMP) and TCPing.

Similar in a lot of way to Blackbox Exporter, and honestly most people will probably be better served by this. This exporter was desgined to be a bit more basic as it was intended to be run on tele-operated forklifts and the operator stations for them.

go get -u github.com/slashdoom/sla_exporter

./sla_exporter -config.file=config.yml

An example Docker compose file is included. It includes services for production, with 2 step build/deploy and Promethus container and one for a dev environment with hot reload. These examples use the golang:alpine image.

docker compose up prometheus sla_exporter

docker compose up prometheus-dev sla_exporter-dev

The exporter can be configured with a YAML based config file:

timeout: 5s

web:
  listen_address: 9909
  metrics_path: "/metrics"

  - url: "http://example.com"
    timeout: 5s
  - url: "https://example.com"
    timeout: 5s
  - url: "https://slashdoom.com"
    timeout: 5s

dns_tests:
  - host: "example.com"
    timeout: 5s
  - host: "example.com"
    server: "9.9.9.9"

  - host: "example.com"
    server: "8.8.8.8"
    timeout: 5s

    timeout: 5s

ping_tests:
  - host: "example.com"
    count: 3
    timeout: 5s
  - host: "slashdoom.com"
    count: 3
