But the following 3 lines should be appended to a file first, then next
time override the old content. But how to make the old content be overried
by previous ones?
print (" # HELP ldap_query_success LDAP query command",
file=open("/var/log/node_exporter/filecollector/ldap_query.prom", "a+"))
print (" # TYPE ldap_query_success gauge",
file=open("/var/log/node_exporter/filecollector/ldap_query.prom", "a+"))
print
('ldap_query_success'+'{'+'ldap_uri'+'='+service+','+'ldap_search_base'+'='+ldap_search_base+','+'}
'+str(query_check),
file=open("/var/log/node_exporter/filecollector/ldap_query.prom", "a+"))
