AdguardHome Prometheus Exporter

This is a Prometheus exporter for AdguardHome's Raspberry PI ad blocker. It is based on the famous pihole-exporter available here

Grafana dashboard is available here on the Grafana dashboard website and also here on the GitHub repository.

Prerequisites

Installation

Download binary

You can download the latest version of the binary built for your architecture here:

Architecture i386 [ Darwin / FreeBSD / Linux / Windows ]
Architecture amd64 [ Darwin / FreeBSD / Linux / Windows ]
Architecture arm [ Linux ]
Architecture arm64 [ Linux ]

From sources

Optionally, you can download and build it from the sources. You have to retrieve the project sources by using one of the following way:

$ go get -u github.com/ebrianne/adguard-exporter
# or
$ git clone https://github.com/ebrianne/adguard-exporter.git

Install the needed vendors:

$ GO111MODULE=on go mod vendor

Then, build the binary (here, an example to run on Raspberry PI ARM architecture):

$ GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm GOARM=7 go build -o adguard_exporter .

Using Docker

The exporter has been made available as a docker image. You can simply run it by the following command and pass the configuration with environment variables:

docker run \
-e 'adguard_protocol=http' \
-e 'adguard_hostname=192.168.10.252' \
-e 'adguard_username=admin' \
-e 'adguard_password=mypassword' \
-e 'adguard_port=' \ #optional if adguard is not using port 80 (http)/443 (https)
-e 'interval=10s' \
-e 'log_limit=10000' \
-e 'server_port=9617' \
-p 9617:9617 \
ebrianne/adguard-exporter:latest

If you prefer you can use an .env file where the environment variables are defined and using the command:

docker run --env-file=.env -p 9617:9617 \
ebrianne/adguard-exporter:latest

You can also use docker-compose passing the environment file or using secrets locally

Local with environment file

version: "3.7"

services:
  adguard_exporter:
    image: ebrianne/adguard-exporter:latest
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "9617:9617"
    env_file:
      - .env

Local with secret file (compose version 3 minimum)

version: "3.7"

secrets: 
  my-adguard-pass:
    file: ./my-adguard-pass.txt

services:
  adguard_exporter:
    image: ebrianne/adguard-exporter:latest
    restart: always
    secrets:
      - my-adguard-pass
    ports:
      - "9617:9617"
    environment:
      - adguard_protocol=http
      - adguard_hostname=192.168.10.252
      - adguard_username=admin
      - adguard_password=/run/secrets/my-adguard-pass
      - adguard_port= #optional
      - server_port=9617
      - interval=10s
      - log_limit=10000
      - password_from_file=true

Swarm mode (docker swarm init)

echo "mypassword" | docker secret create my-adguard-pass -

Here is an example of docker-compose file.

version: "3.7"

secrets: 
  my-adguard-pass:
    external: true

services:
  adguard_exporter:
    image: ebrianne/adguard-exporter:latest
    restart: always
    secrets:
      - my-adguard-pass
    ports:
      - "9617:9617"
    environment:
      - adguard_protocol=http
      - adguard_hostname=192.168.10.252
      - adguard_username=admin
      - adguard_password=/run/secrets/my-adguard-pass
      - adguard_port= #optional
      - server_port=9617
      - interval=10s
      - log_limit=10000
      - password_from_file=true

Usage

In order to run the exporter, type the following command (arguments are optional):

Using a password

$ ./adguard_exporter -adguard_protocol https -adguard_hostname 192.168.10.252 -adguard_username admin -adguard_password qwerty -log_limit 10000

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'adguard'
  static_configs:
  - targets: ['localhost:9617']

-interval duration (optional) (default 10s)

# Protocol to use to query Adguard
-adguard_protocol string (optional: "http", "https") (default "http")

Systemd file

Ubuntu

One can enable the program to work at startup by writing a systemd file. You can put this file in /etc/systemd/system/adguard-home.service

[Unit]
Description=AdGuard-Exporter
After=syslog.target network-online.target
Requires=AdGuardHome.Service

[Service]
ExecStart=/opt/adguard_exporter/adguard_exporter-linux-arm -adguard_protocol http -adguard_hostname <hostname> -adguard_username <username> -adguard_password <password> -log_limit 5000
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then do this command to start the service:
