Prometheus exporter for the Helium miner (validator). Using prometheus_client, this code exposes metrics from the helium miner to a prometheus compatible server.
This is only the exporter, which still requires a prometheus server for data and grafana for the dashboard. Prometheus and Grafana servers can run on an external machine, the same machine as the miner, or possibly using a cloud service. The helium_miner_grafana_dashboard can be imported to Grafana.
Note port 9825 is the 'reserved' port for this specific exporter. Feel free to use whatever you like, of course, but you won't be able to dial 9VAL on your phone.
Using the docker file, you can run this with Docker or docker-compose! Both of these expose Prometheus on 9825, feel free to choose your own port. The images are hosted on both GHCR and Dockerhub.
docker run -p 9825:9825 --name miner_exporter -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ghcr.io/tedder/miner_exporter:latest
Using your existing docker-compose file, add the section for the exporter (below). When you're done, run docker-compose up -d as usual. That's it!
