Grok exporter - Prometheus connection

[ruchika....@gmail.com]

Hello All,

I am running some performance run on storage drive using fio and want to montior the log files and want to create some real time graphs.

I have used grok exporter for the log files and generated metrics, and now I need to grap the metrics using prometheus and show the graphs in graphana.

The problem is I am not able to make the connection of grok exporter and prometheus. I am not finding any way to do that.

Please suggest how to do that.

I have followed the link (https://github.com/fstab/grok_exporter) to generate the config file of grok exporter and  command (./grok_exporter -config ./example/config.yml )
 is running successfully.

Please help me with next steps of grok exporter to prometheus.

Regards,

Ruchika

You need to configure Prometheus to scrape (pull) metrics from your exporter. Assuming that the exporter runs on port 9144, you can add something like this to your Prometheus configuration file (replacing grok.example.com by the actual address of the machine running the exporter):

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'grok'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['grok.example.com:9144']

Any help would be appreciated.
