Prometheus AWS ElastiCache Service Discovery

ElastiCache SD allows retrieving scrape targets from AWS ElastiCache cache nodes for Prometheus. No address is defined by default, it must be configured with relabeling and requires a third-party exporter supporting the multi-target pattern.

Configuration

Help on flags:

./prometheus-elasticache-sd --help

The following meta labels are available on targets during relabeling:

• __meta_elasticache_cache_cluster_id: The identifier of the cluster.
• __meta_elasticache_cache_cluster_status: The current state of this cluster. See CacheClusterStatus in the API Reference for possible values.
• __meta_elasticache_cache_node_id: The cache node identifier. A node ID is a numeric identifier (0001, 0002, etc.). The combination of cluster ID and node ID uniquely identifies every cache node used in a customer's Amazon account.
• __meta_elasticache_cache_node_status: The current state of this cache node. See CacheNodeStatus in the API Reference for possible values.
• __meta_elasticache_cache_node_type: The name of the compute and memory capacity node type for the cluster.
• __meta_elasticache_cache_parameter_group_name: The name of the cache parameter group.
• __meta_elasticache_cache_subnet_group_name: The name of the cache subnet group associated with the cluster.
• __meta_elasticache_customer_availability_zone: The Availability Zone where this node was created and now resides.
• __meta_elasticache_endpoint_address: The DNS hostname of the cache node.
• __meta_elasticache_endpoint_port: The port number that the cache engine is listening on.
• __meta_elasticache_engine_version: The version of the cache engine that is used in this cluster.
• __meta_elasticache_engine: The name of the cache engine (memcached or redis) used for this cluster.
• __meta_elasticache_preferred_availability_zone: The name of the Availability Zone in which the cluster is located or "Multiple" if the cache nodes are located in different Availability Zones.
• __meta_elasticache_replication_group_id: The replication group to which this cluster belongs. If this label is absent, the cluster is not associated with any replication group.
• __meta_elasticache_tag_<tagkey>: The tag's value.

The following AWS IAM permissions are required:

• elasticache:DescribeCacheClusters
• elasticache:ListTagsForResource

Usage

Docker

To run the ElastiCache SD as a Docker container, run:

docker run ghcr.io/maxbrunet/prometheus-elasticache-sd:latest --help

oliver006/redis_exporter

This service discovery can be used with oliver006/redis_exporter, here is a sample Prometheus configuration:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: "redis_exporter_targets"
    file_sd_configs:
    - files:
        - /path/to/elasticache.json  # Set file path with --output.file flag
    metrics_path: /scrape
    relabel_configs:
      # Filter for Redis cache nodes
      - source_labels: [__meta_elasticache_engine]
        regex: redis
        action: keep
      # Build Redis URL to use as target parameter for the exporter
      - source_labels:
          - __meta_elasticache_endpoint_address
          - __meta_elasticache_endpoint_port
        replacement: redis://$1
        separator: ':'
        target_label: __param_target
      # Use Redis URL as instance label
      - source_labels: [__param_target]
        target_label: instance
      # Set exporter address
      - target_label: __address__
        replacement: <<REDIS-EXPORTER-HOSTNAME>>:9121

prometheus/memcached_exporter

This service discovery can be used with the official memcached_exporter, see its README for details.
