freeswitch_exporter

FreeSWITCH Exporter for Prometheus

A FreeSWITCH exporter for Prometheus.

It communicates with FreeSWITCH using mod_event_socket.

Getting Started

Pre-built static binaries are available in releases.

Docker images are also available on DockerHub.

To run it:

./freeswitch_exporter [flags]

Docker run:

docker run --rm -it florentchauveau/freeswitch_exporter:latest --help

Help on flags:

./freeswitch_exporter --help

Flags:
      --help                   Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).
  -l, --web.listen-address=":9282"  
                               Address to listen on for web interface and telemetry.
      --web.telemetry-path="/metrics"  
                               Path under which to expose metrics.
  -u, --freeswitch.scrape-uri="tcp://localhost:8021"  
                               URI on which to scrape freeswitch. E.g. "tcp://localhost:8021"
  -t, --freeswitch.timeout=5s  Timeout for trying to get stats from freeswitch.
  -P, --freeswitch.password="ClueCon"  
                               Password for freeswitch event socket.

Usage

Make sure mod_event_socket is enabled on your FreeSWITCH instance. The default mod_event_socket configuration binds to :: (i.e., to listen to connections from any host), which will work on IPv4 or IPv6.

You can specify the scrape URI with the --freeswitch.scrape-uri flag. Example:

./freeswitch_exporter -u "tcp://localhost:5049"

Also, you need to make sure that the exporter will be allowed by the ACL (if any), and that the password matches.

Metrics

The exporter will try to fetch values from the following commands:

• api show calls count: Calls count
• api uptime s: Uptime
• api strepoch: Time synced with system
• status
