Introduction

This chart creates a SNMP-Exporter deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

Prerequisites

Kubernetes 1.8+ with Beta APIs enabled

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

bash

$ helm install --name my-release stable/prometheus-snmp-exporter

The command deploys SNMP Exporter on the Kubernetes cluster using the default configuration. The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:

bash

$ helm delete --purge my-release

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

The following table lists the configurable parameters of the SNMP-Exporter chart and their default values.

Parameter	Description	Default
`config`	Prometheus SNMP configuration	{}
`configmapReload.name`	configmap-reload container name	`configmap-reload`
`configmapReload.image.repository`	configmap-reload container image repository	`jimmidyson/configmap-reload`
`configmapReload.image.tag`	configmap-reload container image tag	`v0.2.2`

`affinity`	node affinity for pod assignment	`{}`
`podAnnotations`	annotations to add to each pod	`{}`
`resources`	pod resource requests & limits	`{}`
`restartPolicy`	container restart policy	`Always`
`service.annotations`	annotations for the service	`{}`
`service.labels`	additional labels for the service	None
`service.type`	type of service to create	`ClusterIP`
`service.port`	port for the snmp http service	`9116`
`service.externalIPs`	list of external ips	[]
`rbac.create`	Use Role-based Access Control	`true`
`serviceAccount.create`	Should we create a ServiceAccount	`true`
`serviceAccount.name`	Name of the ServiceAccount to use	`null`
`serviceMonitor.enabled`	Enables ServiceMonitor	`false`
`serviceMonitor.params.enabled`	Enables params for serviceMonitor	`false`
`serviceMonitor.params.conf.module`	Module to use for scrapes	`[]`
`serviceMonitor.params.conf.target`	List of target(s) to scrape	`[]`

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

bash

$ helm install --name my-release \
    --set key_1=value_1,key_2=value_2 \
    stable/prometheus-snmp-exporter

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

bash

# example for staging
$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/prometheus-snmp-exporter

Tip: You can use the default values.yaml

Prometheus Configuration

The snmp exporter needs to be passed the address as a parameter, this can be done with relabelling.

Example config:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'snmp'
    static_configs:
      - targets:
        - 192.168.1.2  # SNMP device.
    metrics_path: /snmp
    params:
      module: [if_mib]
    relabel_configs:
      - source_labels: [__address__]
        target_label: __param_target
      - source_labels: [__param_target]
        target_label: instance
      - target_label: __address__
        replacement: my-service-name:9116  # The SNMP exporter's Service name and port.
