Documentation Grafana Alloy Reference Components prometheus prometheus.exporter.github

prometheus.exporter.github

The prometheus.exporter.github component embeds github_exporter for collecting statistics from GitHub.

Usage

alloy Copy

prometheus.exporter.github "LABEL" {
}

Arguments

The following arguments can be used to configure the exporter’s behavior. All arguments are optional. Omitted fields take their default values.

GitHub uses an aggressive rate limit for unauthenticated requests based on IP address. To allow more API requests, it is recommended to configure either api_token or api_token_file to authenticate against GitHub.

When provided, api_token_file takes precedence over api_token.

Exported fields

Component health

prometheus.exporter.github is only reported as unhealthy if given an invalid configuration. In those cases, exported fields retain their last healthy values.

Debug information

prometheus.exporter.github does not expose any component-specific debug information.

Debug metrics

prometheus.exporter.github does not expose any component-specific debug metrics.

Example

This example uses a prometheus.scrape component to collect metrics from prometheus.exporter.github:

alloy Copy

prometheus.exporter.github "example" {
  api_token_file = "/etc/github-api-token"
  repositories   = ["grafana/alloy"]
}

// Configure a prometheus.scrape component to collect github metrics.
prometheus.scrape "demo" {
  targets    = prometheus.exporter.github.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.
