NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       prometheus-process-exporter [option...]

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.

       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.

OPTIONS

       -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.

       -man   Print manual.

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

       -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.config.file string
              Path to YAML web config file.

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