Prometheus Exporter for AWS

Overview

Export metrics from AWS Cost Explorer and EC2 Instance to Prometheus, using the AWS Go SDK.

Getting Started

To get started, copy config.toml.example to config.toml. If you have awscli configured on your system, the AWS Go SDK will automatically fetch the credentials from your environment. If you would like to use other credentials, you'll need to set the access_key and secret_key inside config.toml.

If you want to scrape data from across AWS Accounts, you will also need to set role_arn to the IAM Role ARN of the assumed role.

The region needs to be set to the AWS region for which the data needs to be fetched.

Required IAM Permissions

For the exporter to work, your IAM User/Role needs to have the following IAM Permissions attached:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
              "ce:GetCostForecast",
              "ce:GetCostAndUsage",
              "ce:GetReservationCoverage",
              "ce:GetReservationUtilization",
              "ec2:DescribeInstances"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

Configuration

aws-exporter supports exporting data from multiple AWS accounts. For this, you need to create an entry for the account inside config.toml:

[[jobs]]
name        = ""
granularity = ""
[jobs.aws]
access_key = ""
secret_key = ""
region     = "ap-south-1"
role_arn   = ""
[jobs.filters]
name  = ""
value = ""
[jobs.instance_tags]
tag          = "ec2-tagname"
exported_tag = "ec2_tagname"

[jobs.aws] holds the credentials for the AWS account, and can be added per job. If no access_key and secret_key is specified, the exporter uses the default credentials configured by awscli.

(Optional) [[jobs]].granularity is the exported cost granularity for EC2 instances. Can be set to daily, hourly, weekly, monthly. Defaults to daily.

(Optional) [jobs.filters] contains the filter tags to be applied for fetching EC2 Instance details. The name of the tag needs to be in the format tag:tag-name.

(Optional) [jobs.instance_tags] contains EC2 Instance Tags to search for (tag), and its corresponding tag name to be exported in the metric (exported_tag).

Installation

Compiling the Binary

$ git clone [email protected]:thunderbottom/aws-exporter.git
$ cd aws-exporter
$ make dist
$ cp config.toml.example config.toml
$ ./aws-exporter

Docker Installation

To locally build and run the docker image, make sure you have edited config.toml before running:

$ docker build -t aws-exporter -f docker/Dockerfile .
$ docker run -p 9980:9980 -v config.toml:/config.toml aws-exporter

If you do not want to build your own docker image:

$ docker run -p 9980:9980 -v config.toml:/config.toml thunderbottom/aws-exporter

Advanced

Setting Up Prometheus

Add the following configuration to Prometheus:

- job_name: 'aws-exporter'
  metrics_path: '/metrics'
  static_configs:
  - targets: ['localhost:9980']
    labels:
      service: aws-exporter

Adding more exporters

Extending the functionality of this exporter is easy. Add the exporter under the exporter package, implement the *Exporter structure for your metrics collector, and create a structure for the exporter functions. Register your exporter inside handler.go. You may take a look at the existing exporters to get an idea.
