IPv6 support about prometheus-pve-exporter HOT 7 CLOSED

Yes, makes sense. This seems to be surprisingly difficult to implement in a platform independent way though. Result of a quick research:

Maybe you can take a look at the pihole exporter https://github.com/dr1s/pihole_exporter.py
It's also using python3 and listens on IPv6. Though I don't know how platform independent this implementation is

Oh, thanks. It looks like that they use flask. Might be justified to pull in that dependency instead of trying to work around the limitations of the built-in http server.

Can you take a look at PR #7 and test whether that works in your setup?

The cli has a new argument (address). You can specify any IPv4 or IPv6 address there (use :: on a dual-stack machine, then it should listen on all interfaces, IPv4 as well as IPv6).

It works. I created a new python3 virtual environment, installed the branch and ran it with the following command: /opt/pve-exporter/bin/pve_exporter /etc/prometheus/pve.yml 9221 ::

It's listening on tcp6 ::9221 and reachable via IPv4 and every IPv6 address.

Thank you very much for your response and help. Your exporter was one of the few without IPv6 :)

Thats probably because most of the other exporters switched to go (which has no problem with IPv6 out of the box). But AFAIK there are no Python bindings for the Proxmox API in go.

Released 1.1.0 with IPv6 support
