aruba_exporter

Prometheus exporter for metrics from Aruba devices including ArubaSwitchOS, ArubaOS-CX, ArubaOS (Instant AP and controllers/gateways).

This exporter is in development. The goal to get a basic set of metrics working on the four major devices types via SSH. Additional metrics will be developed as required or requested.

The basic structure is based on:

https://github.com/czerwonk/junos_exporter
...and...
https://github.com/lwlcom/cisco_exporter

Flags

Name	Description	Default
version	Print version information.
web.listen-address	Address on which to expose metrics and web interface.	:9909
web.telemetry-path	Path under which to expose metrics.	/metrics
ssh.targets	Comma seperated list of hosts to scrape
ssh.user	Username to use when connecting to devices using ssh.	aruba_exporter
ssh.keyfile	Public key file to use when connecting to devices using ssh.
ssh.password	Password to use when connecting to devices using ssh.
ssh.timeout	Timeout in seconds to use for SSH connection.	5
ssh.batch-size	The SSH response batch size.	10000
level	Set logging verbose level.	info
config.file	Path to config file.

Metrics

All metrics are enabled by default. To disable something pass a flag --<name>.enabled=false, where <name> is the name of the metric.

Name	Description	SwitchOS	OS-CX	InstantAP	Controller
system	System metrics (version, CPU (% used/idle), memory (total/used/free), uptime)	X	X	X	X
environment	Environment metrics (temperatures, state of power supply)	-	-	-	-
interfaces	Interfaces metrics (transmitted/received: bytes/packets/errors/drops, admin/oper state)	X	X	X	X
optics	Optical signals metrics (tx/rx)	-	-	-	-
routes	Router metrics (total, static, dynamic, connected)	-	-	N/A	-
wireless	wireless metrics (clients, aps, radios, wlans)	N/A	N/A	-	-

Install

go get -u github.com/slashdoom/aruba_exporter

Usage

Binary

./aruba_exporter -ssh.targets="host1.example.com,host2.example.com:2233,172.16.0.1" -ssh.keyfile=aruba_exporter

./aruba_exporter -ssh.targets="host1.example.com,host2.example.com:2233,172.16.0.1" -ssh.password=password

./aruba_exporter -config.file=config.yml

Docker

Two example Docker compose files are included. One for a 2 step production build/deploy and one for a dev environment with hot reload. These examples use the golang:bullseye image.

Production

docker compose up

Development

docker compose -f dev.docker-compose.yaml up

Config file

The exporter can be configured with a YAML based config file:

---
level: debug
timeout: 60
batch_size: 10000
username: default-username
password: default-password
key_file: /path/to/key

devices:
  - host: host1.example.com
    key_file: /path/to/key
    timeout: 5
    batch_size: 10000
    features: # enable/disable per host
      routes: false
  - host: host2.example.com:2233
    username: exporter
    password: secret

features:
  system: true
  environment: true
  interfaces: true
  optics: true
  routes: true
  wireless: true
