apcupsd-exporter

Development

This library uses Python Poetry for builds, tests, and deployment. Once you've installed Poetry you can install this project's dependencies with this command:

poetry install

Assuming that you have set up your environment as described later in this document, you can test the application by running this command:

poetry run apcupsd_exporter --port=8000 --host=yourhost:3551

Still assuming that your environment is configured, an alternative way to run this is with Docker, like this:

docker build -t apcupsd_exporter .
docker run --rm apcupsd_exporter --port=8000 --host=yourhost:3551

Configuration

--port

The port on which to listen for Prometheus connections.

--host

The host that you want to poll for apcupsd data. This should be in the form hostname:port. The port will usually be 3551.
