Podman Exporter for Prometheus

This is a simple server that uses libpod from podman to scrape data from podman-stats(1) and exports them via HTTP for Prometheus consumption.

Note: This exporter makes all podman requests through the podman unix socket which requires that the podman systemd service is started to create that socket:

systemctl enable --now podman.socket

Getting Started

To run it:

./podman_exporter [flags]

Help on flags:

./podman_exporter --help

Usage with Podman

  --detach \
  --volume /var/run/podman/podman.sock:/var/run/podman/podman.sock:ro \
  --privileged \
