node_exporter-0.18.0 is in -current since May. So yes, it has not been in
6.5 or any earlier release.

I appreciate your beta testing of your suggestion !   ;-)

I shall run off to my nearest OpenBSD console forthwith.

Thank you.

I tested it before sending the suggestion. I just ran gmake and it built fine.

It's in current so 6.6 will have it.

Claudio,

pkg_add node_exporter ?

I already had a good look at the package list on the FTP mirror and can't see 
any node_exporter there ?  pkg_add seems to agree with me, it says "can't find 
node_exporter" ?

Certainly pkg_add would be my preferred option, but it seems someone has forgot 
poor old node_exporter for recent releases ?  

Regarding the other gmake suggestion, that possibility occurred to me after 
sending yesterday's email, but I guess I would have to edit various source 
files to make sure its calling the right command.  Not rocket science I guess, 
but equally could be time consuming to make sure I've caught all the right 
spots in the code.

Or just do `pkg_add node_exporter`. While prometheus does not provide
a pre-compiled binary OpenBSD does.

[Travis Cole]

Looks like they are assuming GNU make.


Try doing the build with 'gmake'.


If you don't already have gmake installed:


# pkg_add gmake

Prometheus node_exporter on OpenBSD - anyone managed ?

[Rachel Roch]

Hi,

The official Prometheus github repo 
(https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter) 
 appears to suggest in multiple 
places that node_exporter is capable of working on OpenBSD.

But although they provide pre-compiled binaries for multiple platforms 
including NetBSD (https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/releases) 
 they seemingly don't 
provide a binary for OpenBSD.

So I tried downloading the source and compiling it, but I get a screenful of 
nasty sounding messages, e.g.:
Bad modifier: , ,$(shell $(GO) env GOPATH)))
 
Bad modifier: , ,$(shell $(GO) env GOPATH)))
 
No closing parenthesis in archive specification 
 
*** Parse error: Error in archive specification: "(, \.'))" 
(Makefile.common:41)
 
*** Parse error: Need an operator in 'else' (Makefile.common:51)
 
*** Parse error: Need an operator in '' (Makefile.common:54)
 
*** Parse error: Need an operator in '' (Makefile.common:55)
 
*** Parse error: Need an operator in 'endif' (Makefile.common:61)   
 
Bad modifier: , ,$(shell go env GOPATH)))   
 
Bad modifier: , ,$(shell go env GOPATH))) 


Given the popularity of Prometheus, I'm sure someone on-list must be actively 
running it ?

Thanks !
