Package: alom-exporter
alom_exporterThis connects to an instance of Sun Advanced Lights-Out Management (ALOM) via SSH and exports metrics about the host system to Prometheus! It has been tested on Sun T1000 and T2000 systems so far- please try it with your system and file a bug if it's not compatible. It is currently focused onshowenvironmentmetrics: voltage/amperage/temperature, for safety and environmental monitoring. The system running this exporter requires the following:python3Network access to the management interface of your target serverCredentials for logging into the target server in a configuration file, like the following:alom_ssh_address: '192.168.1.231'
alom_ssh_username: admin
alom_ssh_password: changemeThis file is YAML-formatted and is passed to thealom_exporterscript with the-c/--configoption.Since theshowenvironmentcommand doesn't require administrative privileges, I'd recommend setting up a dedicated user for alom_exporter to adhere to the principle of least privilege.For example, here's how to add an unprivileged user to an ALOM console.sc> useradd exporter
sc> userpassword exporter
New password: *********

Re-enter new password: *********

sc> usershow exporter
Username         Permissions      Password
exporter         ----             AssignedMake sure the username and password entered at the console match what you entered in theconfig.yamlfile.InstallationInstall via pip,pip install alom-exporter- and note the package name uses a dash. The daemon can be invoked withalom_exporter.ExampleThis was generated from example output of a Sun T2000 server.
