Bug#1010762: Acknowledgement (ITP: prometheus-systemd-exporter -- Prometheus Exporter for systemd unit metrics)
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.
