Description

Prometheus exporter exposing Cloudflare Analytics dashboard data on a per-zone basis, as well as Worker metrics. The exporter is also able to scrape Zone metrics by Colocations (https://www.cloudflare.com/network/).

Grafana Dashboard

Our public dashboard is available at https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/13133

Authentication

Authentication towards the Cloudflare API can be done in two ways:

API token

The preferred way of authenticating is with an API token, for which the scope can be configured at the Cloudflare dashboard.

Required authentication scopes:

• Analytics:Read is required for zone-level metrics
• Account.Account Analytics:Read is required for Worker metrics
• Account Settings:Read is required for Worker metrics (for listing accessible accounts, scraping all available Workers included in authentication scope)

To authenticate this way, only set CF_API_TOKEN (omit CF_API_EMAIL and CF_API_KEY)

User email + API key

To authenticate with user email + API key, use the Global API Key from the Cloudflare dashboard. Beware that this key authenticates with write access to every Cloudflare resource.

To authenticate this way, set both CF_API_KEY and CF_API_EMAIL.

Configuration

The exporter can be configured using env variables or command flags.

KEY	description
CF_API_EMAIL	user email (see https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200167836-Managing-API-Tokens-and-Keys)
CF_API_KEY	API key associated with email (CF_API_EMAIL is required if this is set)
CF_API_TOKEN	API authentication token (recommended before API key + email. Version 0.0.5+. see https://developers.cloudflare.com/analytics/graphql-api/getting-started/authentication/api-token-auth)
CF_ZONES	(Optional) cloudflare zones to export, comma delimited list of zone ids. If not set, all zones from account are exported
CF_EXCLUDE_ZONES	(Optional) cloudflare zones to exclude, comma delimited list of zone ids. If not set, no zones from account are excluded
FREE_TIER	(Optional) scrape only metrics included in free plan. Accepts true or false, default false.
LISTEN	listen on addr:port (default :8080), omit addr to listen on all interfaces
METRICS_PATH	path for metrics, default /metrics
SCRAPE_DELAY	scrape delay in seconds, default 300
CF_BATCH_SIZE	cloudflare request zones batch size (1 - 10), default 10
METRICS_DENYLIST	(Optional) cloudflare-exporter metrics to not export, comma delimited list of cloudflare-exporter metrics. If not set, all metrics are exported
ZONE_<NAME>	DEPRECATED since 0.0.5 (optional) Zone ID. Add zones you want to scrape by adding env vars in this format. You can find the zone ids in Cloudflare dashboards.

Corresponding flags:

  -cf_api_email="": cloudflare api email, works with api_key flag
  -cf_api_key="": cloudflare api key, works with api_email flag
  -cf_api_token="": cloudflare api token (version 0.0.5+, preferred)
  -cf_zones="": cloudflare zones to export, comma delimited list
  -cf_exclude_zones="": cloudflare zones to exclude, comma delimited list
  -free_tier=false: scrape only metrics included in free plan, default false
  -listen=":8080": listen on addr:port ( default :8080), omit addr to listen on all interfaces
  -metrics_path="/metrics": path for metrics, default /metrics
  -scrape_delay=300: scrape delay in seconds, defaults to 300
  -cf_batch_size=10: cloudflare zones batch size (1-10)
  -metrics_denylist="": cloudflare-exporter metrics to not export, comma delimited list

Note: ZONE_<name> configuration is not supported as flag.

Helm chart repository

To deploy the exporter into Kubernetes, we recommend using our manager Helm repository:

helm repo add cloudflare-exporter https://lablabs.github.io/cloudflare-exporter/
helm install cloudflare-exporter/cloudflare-exporter

Docker

Build

Images are available at Github Container Registry

docker build -t ghcr.io/lablabs/cloudflare_exporter .

Run

Authenticating with email + API key:

docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 -e CF_API_KEY=${CF_API_KEY} -e CF_API_EMAIL=${CF_API_EMAIL} ghcr.io/lablabs/cloudflare_exporter

API token:

docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 -e CF_API_TOKEN=${CF_API_TOKEN} ghcr.io/lablabs/cloudflare_exporter
