ls-dyna Prometheus exporter

The ls-dyna exporter collects metrics from the ls-dyna license server. The /lsdyna metrics endpoint exposes the license server metrics. The /metrics endpoint exposes metrics about the exporter runtime.

Usage

The only required flag is --path.lstc_qrun. This must point to the lstc_qrun binary capable to communicating with the ls-dyna license server.

This exporter is designed to run on a central host and communicate with remote ls-dyna license servers. It's possible to run locally on the ls-dyna license server but you will still need to provide the target query parameter.

Queries to the exporter would look like http://localhost:9309/lsdyna?target=port@host where port is the ls-dyna license server port and host is the license server host name.

Prometheus configs

The following example assumes this exporter is running on the Prometheus server and communicating to a remote ls-dyna license server.

- job_name: lsdyna
  metrics_path: /lsdyna
  static_configs:
  - targets:
    - [email protected]
  relabel_configs:
  - source_labels: [__address__]
    target_label: __param_target
  - source_labels: [__param_target]
    target_label: instance
  - target_label: __address__
    replacement: 127.0.0.1:9309
