Mastodon Admin Metrics

This is a bit WIP, I'm still figuring out the format of metrics and how to provide them consistently

This is a very simple script that exports mastodon admin dashboard metrics ("measures") to prometheus format, to allow for easier manipulation and dashboard integration into grafana and the likes.

I've made a recommended grafana dashboard to go along with this data source: WIP

To make it work, go to "development" in the mastodon web UI, and create an application with the permissions read and admin:read, feel free to disable all other permissions (such as write).

MASTODON_BASE_URL: Your server's web interface URL, stripped down to /, basically the domain/url that you access your server with.
MASTODON_CLIENT_KEY: The application's "Client ID", or Client Key
MASTODON_CLIENT_SECRET: The application's Client Secret
MASTODON_ACCESS_TOKEN: The application's Access Token
PORT: The port that the metrics server will bind itself to, defaults to 9876
UPDATE_SECS: The amount of seconds to wait between calling /measures, defaults to 30

There's also a Dockerfile provided, so that you could add it to a docker-compose.yml file with the following snippet:

# ...

    masto_admin_metrics:
        build: masto_admin_metrics
        environment:
            MASTODON_BASE_URL: "https://your.server"
            MASTODON_CLIENT_KEY: KEY
            MASTODON_CLIENT_SECRET: SECRET
            MASTODON_ACCESS_TOKEN: TOKEN
        restart: always
        ports:
        - "127.0.0.1:9876:9876"
