Running on Kubernetes

Here is an example Kubernetes deployment configuration for how to deploy the domain_exporter.

Example Prometheus Alert

The following alert will be triggered when domains expire within 45 days, or if they don't have a whois record available (perhaps having been long expired).

groups:
 - name: ./domain.rules
   rules:
    - alert: DomainExpiring
      expr: domain_expiration{} < 45
      for: 24h
      labels:
        severity: warning
      annotations:
        description: "{{ $labels.domain }} expires in {{ $value }} days"
    - alert: DomainUnfindable
      expr: domain_expiration_unfindable > 0
      for: 24h
      labels:
        severity: critical
      annotations:
        description: "Unable to find or parse expiry for {{ $labels.domain }}"
    - alert: DomainMetricsAbsent
      expr: absent(domain_expiration) > 0
      for: 1h
      labels:
        severity: warning
      annotations:
        description: "Metrics for domain-exporter are absent"

FAQ

Why did I get a negative amount of days until expiry?

The WHOIS resposne probably doesn't parse correctly. Please create an issue with the response and we'll add the format.
