JAIL_EXPORTER(8)	    System Manager's Manual	      JAIL_EXPORTER(8)

NAME
       jail_exporter --	Prometheus exporter for	jail metrics

SYNOPSIS
       jail_exporter [-hV] [--help] [--version]	[--rc-script]
       jail_exporter	 [--output.file-path=path]    [--web.auth-config=path]
		     [--web.listen-address=addr:port]
		     [--web.telemetry-path=path]
       jail_exporter   bcrypt	[--random]   [--cost=cost]   [--length=length]
		     [password]

DESCRIPTION
   Command Line	Arguments
       jail_exporter  is  a Prometheus exporter	for jail metrics.  The options
       are as follows:

       -h, --help
	       Prints help information

       -V, --version
	       Prints version information

       --rc-script
	       Dumps the jail_exporter rc(8) script  to	 stdout.   This	 crate
	       feature	is  disabled  by default when installed	from pkg(8) or
	       ports(7)	as they	supply a suitable rc(8)	script already.

       --output.file-path=path
	       Specify	a  path	 to  write   collected	 metrics   to.	  When
	       jail_exporter  is  given	 a path	it will	exit immediately after
	       writing the metrics and the HTTPd will not  be  started.	  This
	       option is designed to be	paired with the	Node Exporter Textfile
	       Collector.   Giving a path of "-" will output collected metrics
	       to stdout.

       --web.auth-config=path
	       Specify a path to load HTTP Basic Authentication	 configuration
	       from.   The  configuration  is  in the YAML format and is docu-
	       mented in the "EXAMPLES"	section.  There	is no default location
	       for  this  configuration	 file,	but   a	  location   such   as
	       /usr/local/etc/jail_exporter.yaml			    or
	       /usr/local/etc/jail_exporter/config.yaml	is suggested.

       --web.listen-address=addr:port
	       Specify an addr:port on which to	expose the metrics and web in-
	       terface.	 Defaults to "127.0.0.1:9452".	If specifying an  IPv6
	       addr:port  the address portion should be	enclosed within	square
	       brackets, for example: "[::1]:9452".

       --web.telemetry-path=path
	       Specify a path under which to expose the	metrics.  Defaults  to
	       "/metrics".

   Sub-Commands
       jail_exporter  also  features  a	bcrypt sub-command, useful for hashing
       the passwords used for HTTP  Basic  authentication.   This  sub-command
       features	the following arguments:

       --random
	       Generates  a random password and	outputs	both the plaintext and
	       hashed values.

       --cost=cost
	       Specifies the bcrypt cost of the	hash.  Defaults	to "12".

       --length=length
	       Specifies the password length to	generate when  used  with  the
	       --random	flag.  Defaults	to "32".

       password
	       Optionally  specify  a  password	to hash.  If a password	is not
	       specified, it is	interactively prompted for.

   HTTP	Basic Authentication Configuration
       HTTP basic authentication is configured via a YAML configuration	 file.
       The  format  of this file follows the suggestions of the	Prometheus ex-
       porter-toolkit.	 This  authentication  configuration  consists	of   a
       "basic_auth_users"  key	which  is  a map of usernames to bcrypt	hashed
       passwords.  These hashes	can be generated with the jail_exporter	bcrypt
       sub-command or any other	utility	capable	of generating  bcrypt  hashes.
       Any keys	in the file other than "basic_auth_users" are ignored.

       An  example HTTP	basic authentication configuration can be found	in the
       "EXAMPLES" section.

USAGE
       jail_exporter must be run as "root" in order  to	 access	 the  required
       rctl(8)	APIs.	Although  FreeBSD ships	with RACCT/RCTL	support	in the
       kernel, it is disabled by  default.   It	 can  be  enabled  by  setting
       kern.racct.enable="1"  in /boot/loader.conf.  After setting this, a re-
       boot will be required to	enable RACCT/RCTL.

METRICS
       The metrics that	are exported are those listed in the RESOURCES section
       of rctl(8), and the following additional	metrics:

       exporter_build_info
	    The	version	of the currently running exporter, and the version  of
	    Rust  used	to  build  the	exporter.  The version is given	in the
	    "version" label on the metric, while  the  Rust  version  used  to
	    build  the exporter	is given in the	"rustversion" label.  Does not
	    possess a "name" label.

       id   The	ID of the named	jail

       num  The	current	number of jails	running.  Does not  possess  a	"name"
	    label.

       All metrics are prefixed	with the string	"jail_"	and in most cases (ex-
       cept for	the metrics mentioned above) possess a "name" label containing
       the  name  of  the jail.	 An example of a metric	output by the exporter
       would be:

	     # HELP jail_cputime_seconds_total CPU time, in seconds
	     # TYPE jail_cputime_seconds_total counter
	     jail_cputime_seconds_total{name="test"} 300

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       jail_exporter can also take its configuration  from  environment	 vari-
       ables.	In  the	 event	that both command line options and environment
       variables are specified,	the command line options will win.

       OUTPUT_FILE_PATH	   is equivalent to setting the	--output.file-path op-
			   tion.

       WEB_AUTH_CONFIG	   is equivalent to setting the	--web.auth-config  op-
			   tion.

       WEB_LISTEN_ADDRESS  is  equivalent  to setting the --web.listen-address
			   option.

       WEB_TELEMETRY_PATH  is equivalent to setting  the  --web.telemetry-path
			   option.

FILES
       /usr/local/etc/rc.d/jail_exporter  the rc(8) script
       /usr/local/sbin/jail_exporter	  the exporter daemon

EXAMPLES
   HTTP	Basic Authentication
       Simple configuration file for two users:

	     ---
	     basic_auth_users:
	       foo:
	     '$2b$12$cGBwrALG2Crkm5jPdvzlG.R8.j8LMeCEecm4y/So6YVd4YiIrfqsW'
	       bar:
	     '$2b$12$8c6yHGFexzAvbtNSHV3WNO0zJoaWfDy9WqX7s8vCAajV08LE/cW06'

   Sub-Commands
       Generating  a  bcrypt  password	hash by	specifying the password	on the
       command line using the default bcrypt cost:

	     $ jail_exporter bcrypt foopass

       Generating a random bcrypt password hash	with  an  increased  cost  and
       custom length:

	     $ jail_exporter bcrypt --random --cost 14 --length	48

       Generating a bcrypt password via	the interactive	prompt:

	     $ jail_exporter bcrypt
