Installation

The latest release can be downloaded from the releases page.

Each release provides a .msi installer. The installer will setup the WMI Exporter as a Windows service, as well as create an exception in the Windows Firewall.

If the installer is run without any parameters, the exporter will run with default settings for enabled collectors, ports, etc. The following parameters are available:

Name Description
ENABLED_COLLECTORS As the -collectors.enabled flag, provide a comma-separated list of enabled collectors
LISTEN_ADDR The IP address to bind to. Defaults to 0.0.0.0
LISTEN_PORT The port to bind to. Defaults to 9182.
METRICS_PATH The path at which to serve metrics. Defaults to /metrics

Parameters are sent to the installer via msiexec. Example invocation:

msiexec /i <path-to-msi-file> ENABLED_COLLECTORS=os,iis LISTEN_PORT=5000

Examples

Please note: The quotes in the parameter names are required because of how Powershell parses command line arguments.

Enable only service collector and specify a custom query

.\wmi_exporter.exe "-collectors.enabled" "service" "-collector.service.services-where" "Name='wmi_exporter'"

Examples

Please note: The quotes in the parameter names are required because of how Powershell parses command line arguments.

Enable only process collector and specify a custom query

.\wmi_exporter.exe "-collectors.enabled" "process" "-collector.process.processes-where" "Name='firefox'"
