Prometheus IPMI Exporter

Requirements

1. Python (tested with 2.7)
2. Python prometheus_client module
3. Docker engine (optional)
4. ipmitool command

Run using Docker

Build the Docker image

$ docker build -t <hub_user>/ipmi_exporter:v1 .

Run the container

docker run \
   -p8000:8000 -d -ti \
   -e "TARGET_IPS=192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2" \
   <hub_user>/ipmi_exporter:v1

Verify

docker logs -f <CT_ID>

Access http://localhost:8000/metrics
