Documentation bug?

[misterbaldi]

Hi,
maybe i do something wrong or maybe a documentation bug:
my config in prometheus.yml

• job_name: ipmi
  params:
  module: default
  scrape_interval: 1m
  scrape_timeout: 30s
  metrics_path: /ipmi
  scheme: http
  file_sd_configs:
  • files:
    • /data/prometheus/targets/targets_ipmi_exporter.yml
      refresh_interval: 5m
      relabel_configs:
  • source_labels: [address]
    separator: ;
    regex: (.*)
    target_label: __param_target
    replacement: ${1}
    action: replace
  • source_labels: [__param_target]
    separator: ;
    regex: (.*)
    target_label: instance
    replacement: ${1}
    action: replace
  • separator: ;
    regex: .*
    target_label: address
    replacement: localhost:9290
    action: replace

1. module: default -> shuld look like module: [default]?
   failed to reload config: couldn't load configuration (--config.file="/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml"): parsing YAML file /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml: yaml: unmarshal errors:
   line 38: cannot unmarshal !!str default into []string

2. config from https://github.com/soundcloud/ipmi_exporter/blob/master/ipmi_remote.yml
   sysadmin@prometheus01:bin$ sudo ./ipmi_exporter --config.file=/etc/prometheus/ipmi_exporter.yml
   INFO[0000] Starting ipmi_exporter source="main.go:83"
   FATA[0000] Error parsing config file: unknown fields in modules: workaround_flags source="main.go:87"

Hi!
Is it possible that you are running the 1.0 release? The workaround_flags are only on the current master branch, they are not in a released version yet.

Hi,

Faced same issue.

Had to use:

- job_name: ipmi
  params:
    module: [default]
  scrape_interval: 1m
...

For the first issue.
I commented the workaround_flags to solve second issue, as I am using version 1.0.0.

Many thanks for this nice exporter by the way ;-)

Best regards

Ox

Hey everyone,
I released version 1.1.0 today, mostly to avoid exactly this confusion about a mismatch of the documentation to the latest release. Please upgrade at your earliest convenience, not much else has changed so you should not run into any problems. I am closing this, but feel free to reopen if anything is still wrong.
