Control: retitle -1 "RFP: prometheus-systemd-exporter -- Prometheus Exporter for systemd unit metrics" Control: done -1
I gave up on this project. I was hoping this would provide a per-cgroup memory view of my system, but it failed at that: https://github.com/povilasv/systemd_exporter/issues/46 ... and quite badly. It turns out it doesn't actually use cgroups (or systemd, for that matter) for all stats, but only for some. memory, in particular, it only checks for the "main PID" which fails miserably with things like cron or apache or postgresql, making it useless for my use case. The fact that it has that extra dependency is also annoying enough that I don't want to go through the work of packaging this just for fun either. I'll probably use the process exporter which, starting in bookworm, will have support for "cgroups" grouping. It doesn't work in older kernels (ie. bullseye), so I can't quite have exactly what i need now, but it *does* group processes by name, which is really good enough for now. a. -- Sous le projecteur, on ne voit pas les autres. - Félix Leclerc
