How to scrape opendj,tomcat and openam processes using process exporter in prometheus.

[Pooja Chauhan]

Hi ,

I am using process -exporter to monitor processes in my ec2 machine which has openam,opendj and tomcat ,I need to monitor these specifc processes only for my machine.Kindly suggest me the .yml configuration and also the way to do it.Currently my .yml is like below:

process_names:
  - name: "{{.Comm}}"
    cmdline:
    - '.+'

Looking for Same, Is anyone who can help to get rid out from this ?

You should be able to just edit the "cmdline" regex part to match only the processes that you mentioned:

process_names:
  - name: "{{.Comm}}"
    cmdline:

      - 'openam|opendj|tomcat'

Depending on the exact names of the command-lines you may need to adjust the regex or use one of the other selector types ("exe" or "comm", see https://github.com/ncabatoff/process-exporter#using-a-config-file-process-selectors).

As far as I know you cannot *select* by the process ID, but you can add the PID to the final group name label via:

process_names:
  - name: "{{.Comm}}-{{.PID}}"

    cmdline:
      - 'openam|opendj|tomcat'

See https://github.com/ncabatoff/process-exporter#using-a-config-file-group-name

That way you can split up (and filter in PromQL) the metrics by PID.
