IIS logs Prometheus exporter

[matjabl...@gmail.com]

Hi,

 

Recently, my company and I have been working on a new type of Prometheus exporter,

which can parse logs from Windows IIS and provide metrics for Prometheus.

Main motivation for it was collecting metrics from websites hosted on IIS

(amount of processed HTTP requests, response times, request sizes etc.)

It is all written in golang and you can run it as a Windows Service.

Here you can find source code: https://github.com/GrupaPracuj/iislog-prometheus-exporter/

We would like to add it to the list of available exporters.

Any feedback or suggestions will be appreciated.

It sounds like that would already be covered by https://github.com/fstab/grok_exporter

 

Any feedback or suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I can see 2 major advantages of our approach.

The first one is monitoring all log files in a given directory (as far I can see grok_exporter watches only single file). This is extremely helpful, considering log rotation. IIS usually creates 1 new log file per day

and I think it makes grok_exporter impossible to use in that case.

The second is ability to watch many directories (one for each website). Therefore, you don't need more than one exporter instance to monitor many websites.

It has also full support of rfc 6570 uri patterns (which makes labeling configuration easy), consul integration and easy installation as a Windows Service.
