Status Cake Exporter

🚨 Container images have moved to ghcr.io/chelnak/status-cake-exporter

Status Cake Exporter is a Prometheus exporter for StatusCake.

Metrics are exposed on port 8000 when using the provided examples/manifest.yml](examples/manifest.yml) in Kubernetes, e.g.

http://status-cake-exporter.default.svc:8000

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Docker
• Kubernetes (optional)
• Helm 3 (optional)

Usage

Setting	Required	Default
API_KEY	Yes	Null
TAGS	No	Null
LOG_LEVEL	No	info
PORT	No	8000

Docker

The following will expose the exporter at localhost:8000:

export API_KEY=xxxxxxxx
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --env API_KEY ghcr.io/chelnak/status-cake-exporter:latest

Kubernetes

To get up and running quickly, use examples/manifest.yml as an example. You will need to create a secret named status-cake-api-token containing your API_KEY first.

Otherwise, you can use the Helm Chart provided in chart/status-cake-exporter.

Grafana

To get up and running quickly, use examples/grafana-example.json as an example.

Terminal

Usage: status-cake-exporter [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --api-key TEXT         API Key for the account.  [env var: API_KEY;
                         required]
  --tags TEXT            A comma separated list of tags used to filter tests
                         returned from the api  [env var: TAGS]
  --log-level TEXT       The log level of the application. Value can be one of
                         {debug, info, warn, error}  [env var: LOG_LEVEL;
                         default: info]
  --port INTEGER         [env var: PORT; default: 8000]
  --items-per-page TEXT  The number of items that the api will return on a
                         page. This is a global option.  [env var:
                         ITEMS_PER_PAGE; default: 25]
  --help                 Show this message and exit

Metrics

Name	Type	Description
status_cake_test_info	Gauge	A basic listing of the tests under the current account.
status_cake_test_uptime_percent	Gauge	Tests and their uptime percentage

Prometheus

Prometheus config needs to be updated to see the new exported. Use the following scrape config as an example:

scrape_configs:
    - job_name: status-cake-exporter
    honor_timestamps: true
    scrape_interval: 10m
    scrape_timeout: 1m
    metrics_path: /
    scheme: http
    static_configs:
    - targets:
        - status-cake-exporter.default.svc:8000

Grafana

Data collected by Prometheus can be easily surfaced in Grafana.

Using the Statusmap panel by flant you can create a basic status visualization based on uptime percentage:

PromQL

status_cake_test_info * on(test_id) group_right(test_name) status_cake_test_uptime_percent

Development

This repository uses Tilt for rapid development on Kubernetes.

To use this, run:

cd chart/status-cake-exporter
tilt up

Tilt will reload your environment when it detects changes to your code.

Note: You will need to provide valid credentials for StatusCake in your Tiltfile for this to work.
