NAME

       prometheus-process-exporter - Prometheus exporter which mines procfs to report on selected
       processes.

SYNOPSIS

       prometheus-process-exporter [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Some apps are impractical to instrument directly, either because  you  don't  control  the
       code  or they're written in a language that isn't easy to instrument with Prometheus. This
       exporter solves that issue by mining process metrics from procfs.

OPTIONS

       The recommended option is to  use  a  config  file,  but  for  convenience  and  backwards
       compatibility the -procnames / -namemapping options exist as an alternative.

       The -children option (default:true) makes it so that any process that otherwise isn't part
       of its own group becomes part of the first group found (if any) when walking  the  process
       tree  upwards.  In  other words, resource usage of subprocesses is added to their parent's
       usage unless the subprocess identifies as a different group name.

       -children If a proc is tracked, track with it any children that aren't part of  their  own
       group (default true).

       -config.path string Path to YAML config file.

       -debug Log debugging information to stdout.

       -man Print manual.

       -namemapping  string Comma-separated list, alternating process name and capturing regex to
       apply to cmdline.

       -once-to-stdout-delay duration Don't bind, just wait this much  time,  print  the  metrics
       once to stdout, and exit.

       -procfs string Path to read proc data from (default "/proc").

       -procnames string Comma-separated list of process names to monitor.

       -recheck Re-check process names on each scrape.

       -web.listen-address  string Address on which to expose metrics and web interface. (default
       ":9256").

       -web.telemetry-path string Path under which to expose metrics. (default "/metrics").
