Configuration

AWS credentials can be passed as environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.

Additional configuration can be supplied in a configuration file and might differ between collectors.

An example file can look like this:

rds:
  enabled: true
  regions:
    - "us-east-1"
vpc:
  enabled: true
  regions:
    - "us-east-1"
    - "eu-central-1"
  timeout: 30s
  interval: 300s
  cache_ttl: 500s
ec2:
  enabled: true
  regions:
    - "us-east-1"
    - "eu-central-1"
    - "us-west-1"
  timeout: 30s
route53:
  enabled: true
  region: "us-east-1"
  timeout: 60s
  interval: 90s

Some exporters might expose different configuration values, see the example files for possible keys.

The config file location can be specified using the environment variable AWS_RESOURCE_EXPORTER_CONFIG_FILE.

RDS Logs metrics are requested in parallel to improve the scrappping time. Also, metrics are cached to prevent AWS api rate limits. Parameters to tweak this behavior.

  • LOGS_METRICS_WORKERS: Number of workers to request log metrics in parallel (default=10)
  • LOGS_METRICS_TTL: Cache TTL for rds logs related metrics (default=300)

Defaults:

  • interval: 15 seconds
  • cache_ttl: 35 seconds
  • timeout: 10 seconds

To view all available command-line flags, run ./aws-resource-exporter -h.
