Prometheus Exporter
An output plugin to expose Prometheus Metrics
The prometheus exporter allows you to take metrics from Fluent Bit and expose them such that a Prometheus instance can scrape them.
Important Note: The prometheus exporter only works with metric plugins, such as Node Exporter Metrics
Key | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
host | This is address Fluent Bit will bind to when hosting prometheus metrics. Note: listen parameter is deprecated from v1.9.0. | 0.0.0.0 |
port | This is the port Fluent Bit will bind to when hosting prometheus metrics | 2021 |
add_label | This allows you to add custom labels to all metrics exposed through the prometheus exporter. You may have multiple of these fields | |
