discovery.triton

discovery.triton discovers Triton Container Monitors and exposes them as targets.

Usage

alloy Copy

discovery.triton "<LABEL>" {
    account    = "<ACCOUNT>"
    dns_suffix = "<DNS_SUFFIX>"
    endpoint   = "<ENDPOINT>"
}

Arguments

You can use the following arguments with discovery.triton:

groups is only supported when role is set to "container". If you omit groups, all containers owned by the requesting account are scraped.

role can be set to:

• "container" to discover virtual machines (SmartOS zones, lx/KVM/bhyve branded zones) running on Triton.
• "cn" to discover compute nodes (servers/global zones) making up the Triton infrastructure.

Blocks

You can use the following blocks with discovery.triton:

tls_config

The tls_config block configures TLS settings for requests to the Triton API.

The following pairs of arguments are mutually exclusive and can’t both be set simultaneously:

• ca_pem and ca_file
• cert_pem and cert_file
• key_pem and key_file

When configuring client authentication, both the client certificate (using cert_pem or cert_file) and the client key (using key_pem or key_file) must be provided.

When min_version isn’t provided, the minimum acceptable TLS version is inherited from Go’s default minimum version, TLS 1.2. If min_version is provided, it must be set to one of the following strings:

• "TLS10" (TLS 1.0)
• "TLS11" (TLS 1.1)
• "TLS12" (TLS 1.2)
• "TLS13" (TLS 1.3)

Exported fields

The following fields are exported and can be referenced by other components:

When role is set to "container", each target includes the following labels:

• __meta_triton_groups: The list of groups belonging to the target joined by a comma separator.
• __meta_triton_machine_alias: The alias of the target container.
• __meta_triton_machine_brand: The brand of the target container.
• __meta_triton_machine_id: The UUID of the target container.
• __meta_triton_machine_image: The target container’s image type.
• __meta_triton_server_id: The server UUID the target container is running on.

When role is set to "cn" each target includes the following labels:

• __meta_triton_machine_alias: The hostname of the target. Requires triton-cmon 1.7.0 or newer.
• __meta_triton_machine_id: The UUID of the target.

Component health

discovery.triton is only reported as unhealthy when given an invalid configuration. In those cases, exported fields retain their last healthy values.

Debug information

discovery.triton doesn’t expose any component-specific debug information.

Debug metrics

discovery.triton doesn’t expose any component-specific debug metrics.

Example

alloy Copy

discovery.triton "example" {
    account    = "<TRITON_ACCOUNT>"
    dns_suffix = "<TRITON_DNS_SUFFIX>"
    endpoint   = "<TRITON_ENDPOINT>"
}

prometheus.scrape "demo" {
    targets    = discovery.triton.example.targets
    forward_to = [prometheus.remote_write.demo.receiver]
}

prometheus.remote_write "demo" {
    endpoint {
        url = "<PROMETHEUS_REMOTE_WRITE_URL>"

        basic_auth {
            username = "<USERNAME>"
            password = "<PASSWORD>"
        }
    }
}

Replace the following:

• <TRITON_ACCOUNT>: Your Triton account.
• <TRITON_DNS_SUFFIX>: Your Triton DNS suffix.
• <TRITON_ENDPOINT>: Your Triton endpoint.
• <PROMETHEUS_REMOTE_WRITE_URL>: The URL of the Prometheus remote_write-compatible server to send metrics to.
• <USERNAME>: The username to use for authentication to the remote_write API.
• <PASSWORD>: The password to use for authentication to the remote_write API.
