Documentation Grafana Alloy Reference Components discovery discovery.puppetdb

discovery.puppetdb

discovery.puppetdb allows you to retrieve scrape targets from PuppetDB resources.

This SD discovers resources and will create a target for each resource returned by the API.

The resource address is the certname of the resource, and can be changed during relabeling.

The queries for this component are expected to be valid PQL (Puppet Query Language).

Usage

alloy Copy

discovery.puppetdb "LABEL" {
  url = PUPPET_SERVER
}

Arguments

The following arguments are supported:

At most, one of the following can be provided:

• bearer_token argument.
• bearer_token_file argument.
• basic_auth block.
• authorization block.
• oauth2 block.

Blocks

The following blocks are supported inside the definition of discovery.puppetdb:

The > symbol indicates deeper levels of nesting. For example, oauth2 > tls_config refers to a tls_config block defined inside an oauth2 block.

Exported fields

The following fields are exported and can be referenced by other components:

Each target includes the following labels:

• __meta_puppetdb_query: the Puppet Query Language (PQL) query.
• __meta_puppetdb_certname: the name of the node associated with the resourcet.
• __meta_puppetdb_resource: a SHA-1 hash of the resource’s type, title, and parameters, for identification.
• __meta_puppetdb_type: the resource type.
• __meta_puppetdb_title: the resource title.
• __meta_puppetdb_exported: whether the resource is exported (“true” or “false”).
• __meta_puppetdb_tags: comma separated list of resource tags.
• __meta_puppetdb_file: the manifest file in which the resource was declared.
• __meta_puppetdb_environment: the environment of the node associated with the resource.
• __meta_puppetdb_parameter_<parametername>: the parameters of the resource.

Component health

discovery.puppetdb is only reported as unhealthy when given an invalid configuration. In those cases, exported fields retain their last healthy values.

Debug information

discovery.puppetdb does not expose any component-specific debug information.

Debug metrics

discovery.puppetdb does not expose any component-specific debug metrics.

Example

This example discovers targets from puppetdb for all the servers that have a specific package defined:

alloy Copy

discovery.puppetdb "example" {
	url   = "http://puppetdb.local:8080"
	query = "resources { type = \"Package\" and title = \"node_exporter\" }"
	port  = 9100
}

prometheus.scrape "demo" {
	targets    = discovery.puppetdb.example.targets
	forward_to = [prometheus.remote_write.demo.receiver]
}

prometheus.remote_write "demo" {
	endpoint {
		url = PROMETHEUS_REMOTE_WRITE_URL

		basic_auth {
			username = USERNAME
			password = PASSWORD
		}
	}
}

Replace the following:

• PROMETHEUS_REMOTE_WRITE_URL: The URL of the Prometheus remote_write-compatible server to send metrics to.
• USERNAME: The username to use for authentication to the remote_write API.
• PASSWORD: The password to use for authentication to the remote_write API.
