--ldapAddr: ldap server (default: localhost)

--ldapsAddr: ldap server using tls (default: localhost)

--ldapPort: ldap port (default: 389)

--caPath: path to ca file

--certPath: path to certificate

-- keyPath: path to private key

Example:

simple ldap connection:

/usr/sbin/openldap_exporter --promAddr ":8080" --ldapAddr localhost --ldapPort 389 --ldapUser cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com --ldapPass admin

ldaps connection with check peer cert:

/usr/sbin/openldap_exporter --promAddr ":8080" --ldapAddr "" --ldapsAddr localhost --ldapPort 636 --ldapUser cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com --ldapPass admin --caPath /path/to/ca.pem --certPath /path/to/cert.pem --keyPath /path/to/key.pem --verify true

OpenLDAP Prometheus Exporter

This is a simple service that scrapes metrics from OpenLDAP and exports them via HTTP for Prometheus consumption.

This exporter is based on the ideas in https://github.com/jcollie/openldap_exporter, but it is written in golang to allow for simpler distribution and installation.

Setting up OpenLDAP for monitoring

slapd supports an optional LDAP monitoring interface you can use to obtain information regarding the current state of your slapd instance. Documentation for this backend can be found in the OpenLDAP backend guide and administration guide.

To enable the backend add the following to the bottom of your slapd.conf file:

database monitor
rootdn "cn=monitoring,cn=Monitor"
rootpw YOUR_MONITORING_ROOT_PASSWORD

Technically you don't need rootdn or rootpw, but having unauthenticated access to slapd feels a little wrong.

You may need to also load the monitoring backend module if your slapd installation needs to load backends as modules by adding this to your slapd.conf:

moduleload  back_monitor

Once you've built the exporter (see below), or downloaded the latest release, you can install it on the same server as your slapd instance, and run it as a service. You can then configure Prometheus to pull metrics from the exporter's /metrics endpoint on port 9330, and check to see that it is working via curl:

$> curl -s http://localhost:9330/metrics

Configuration

You can configure openldap_exporter using multiple configuration sources at the same time. All configuration sources are optional, if none are provided then the default values will be used.

The precedence of these configuration sources is as follows (from the highest to the lowest):

  1. Command line flags
  2. Environment variables
  3. YAML configuration file parameters
  4. Default values
NAME:
   openldap_exporter - Export OpenLDAP metrics to Prometheus

USAGE:
   openldap_exporter [global options] [arguments...]

VERSION:
   v2.0-3-gb8e3d38 (b8e3d38)

GLOBAL OPTIONS:
   --promAddr value    Bind address for Prometheus HTTP metrics server (default: ":9330") [$PROM_ADDR]
   --metrPath value    Path on which to expose Prometheus metrics (default: "/metrics") [$METRICS_PATH]
   --ldapAddr value    Address of OpenLDAP server (default: "localhost:389") [$LDAP_ADDR]
   --ldapUser value    OpenLDAP bind username (optional) [$LDAP_USER]
   --ldapPass value    OpenLDAP bind password (optional) [$LDAP_PASS]
   --interval value    Scrape interval (default: 30s) [$INTERVAL]
   --config YAML_FILE  Optional configuration from a YAML_FILE
   --help, -h          show help (default: false)
   --version, -v       print the version (default: false)

Example:

INTERVAL=10s /usr/sbin/openldap_exporter --promAddr ":8080" --config /etc/slapd/exporter.yaml

Where exporter.yaml looks like this:

---
ldapUser: "cn=monitoring,cn=Monitor"
ldapPass: "sekret"
