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

• Go

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 ]

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 '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 
      - interval=10s
      - log_limit=10000

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 
      - interval=10s
      - log_limit=10000

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

Once the exporter is running, you also have to update your prometheus.yml configuration to let it scrape the exporter:

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

Available CLI options

# Interval of time the exporter will fetch data from Adguard
-interval duration (optional) (default 10s)

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

# Hostname of the Raspberry PI where Adguard is installed
-adguard_hostname string (optional) (default "127.0.0.1")

# Username to login to Adguard Home
-adguard_username string (optional)

# Password defined on the Adguard interface

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:

$ sudo systemctl start adguard-home.service

To enable the service at startup:

$ sudo systemctl enable adguard-home.service
