Package: nautobot-plugin-prometheus-sd
fork to try this plugin nautobot compatiblenetbox-plugin-prometheus-sdProvide Prometheus http_sd compatible API Endpoint with data from Netbox.HTTP SD is a new feature in Prometheus 2.28.0 that allows hosts to be found via a URL instead of just files.
This plugin implements API endpoints in Netbox to make devices, IPs and virtual machines available to Prometheus.CompatibilityWe aim to support the latest major versions of Netbox. For now we Support Netbox2.11,3.0,3.1,3.2and3.3including bugfix versions.
All relevant target versions are tested in CI. Have a look at the Github Actions definition for the current build targets.InstallationThe plugin is available as a Python package in pypi and can be installed with pippip install netbox-plugin-prometheus-sdEnable the plugin in /opt/netbox/netbox/netbox/configuration.py:PLUGINS = ['netbox_prometheus_sd']The plugin has not further plugin configuration at the moment.UsageThe plugin only provides a new API endpoint on the Netbox API. There is no further action required after installation.APIThe plugin reuses Netbox API view sets with new serializers for Prometheus.
This means that all filters that can be used on the Netbox api can also be used to filter Prometheus targets.
Paging is disabled because Prometheus does not support paged results.The plugin also reuses the Netbox authentication and permission model.
Depending on the Netbox configuration, a token with valid object permissions must be passed to Netbox.GET        /api/plugins/prometheus-sd/devices/              Get a list of devices in a prometheus compatible format
GET        /api/plugins/prometheus-sd/virtual-machines/     Get a list of vms in a prometheus compatible format
GET        /api/plugins/prometheus-sd/ip-addresses/         Get a list of ip in a prometheus compatible formatExampleA working example on how to use this plugin with Prometheus is located at theexamplefolder. Netbox content is created by using Netbox docker initializers.The demo data doesn't make sense, but they are good enough for demonstrating how to configure Prometheus and get demo data to Prometheus service discovery.Go to theexamplefolder and rundocker-compose up. Prometheus should get available onhttp://localhost:9090. Netbox content should then be available in the service discovery tab.DevelopmentWe use Poetry for dependency management and invoke as task runner.
As Netbox plugins cannot be tested standalone, we need invoke to start all code embedded in Netbox Docker containers.All code to run in docker is located underdevelopment.
To start a virtual env managed by poetry runpoetry shell.
All following commands are started inside this environment.In order to run tests invoke the test steps# Execute all testsinvoketests# Execute unit tests onlyinvokeunittestFeatures should be covered by a unit test, but some times it's easier to develop on an running system.# Start a local Netbox with dockerinvokestart# Create an user named `admin`invokecreate-userVisithttp://localhost:8000and log in with the new user.
You can now define Netbox entities and test around.API endpoints for testing can be found athttp://localhost:8000/api/plugins/prometheus-sd/
