FAQ

What metrics does this exporter report?

The BOSH TSDB Prometheus Exporter gets the metrics from the BOSH OpenTSDB Health Monitor plugin, who gathers them from each VM BOSH Agent. The metrics that are being reported are pretty basic, but include:

  • Job metrics:
    • Health status
    • CPU
    • Load
    • Memory
    • Swap
    • System, Ephemeral and Persistent disk

How can I get more detailed metrics from each VM?

If you want to get more detailed VM system metrics, like disk I/O, network traffic, ..., it is recommended to deploy the Prometheus Node Exporter on each VM.

What is the recommended deployment strategy?

Prometheus advises to collocate exporters near the metrics source, in this case, that means colocating this exporter within your BOSH Director VM. We encourage you to follow this approach whenever is possible.
