Python scripts that extract metric names from Grafana dashboards, and time series from prometheus.

You can start the dashboard metrics extractor either by running it as a python script or as an executable.

• To start the dashboard metrics extractor as an executable (Mac/Linux):

Run the following command in the terminal:

$ curl -L -O https://github.com/logzio/dashboard-metrics-extractor/releases/download/V0.0.2/extract \
       && sudo chmod 755 extract \
       && ./extract

• To start the dashboard metrics extractor as an executable (Windows):

Download and run the executable (extract.exe) from the release page

• To start the dashboard metrics extractor as a python script:

1. Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/logzio/dashboard-metrics-extractor.git
2. Run the following command in the repository folder:

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt \
&& python3 extract.py

The dashboard metrics extractor can extract metrics either from the Grafana/Prometheus endpoints or from the Logz.io endpoint. To select the required method:

• Type 1 to select the Grafana/Prometheus endpoints and press Enter.
• Type 2 to select the Logz.io endpoint and press Enter.

If you select the Grafana/Prometheus endpoints, you need to specify these endpoints either via a config file or manually.

To specify the endpoints via a config file:

• Enter the path to the config file and press Enter.

To specify the endpoints manually:

1. Press Enter.
2. Type in the Prometheus endpoint address, for example http://127.0.0.1:7000, and press Enter.
3. Type in the Grafana endpoint address, for example http://127.0.0.1:8000, and press Enter.
4. Type in your Grafana API token and press Enter.

If you select the Logz.io endpoints, you need to specify the endpoint either via the prom_dashboard.json file or manually.

To specify the endpoint via prom_dashboard.json:

1. Make sure the prom_dashboard.json is located in the same folder as the dashboar metrics extractor exacutable.
2. Type 1 and press Enter.

To specify the endpoints manually:

1. Type 2 and press Enter.
2. Type in the region of your Logz.io metrics account, for example us, and press Enter.
3. Type in your Logz.io API token (not the data shipping token) and press Enter.

prometheus:
  endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:7000

grafana:
  endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:8000
  token: <<GRAFANA_API_TOKEN>>

You can use the output Regex expression to filter metric names when you ship your data, for example in prometheus you can use relabel_configs

relabel_configs:
  - source_labels: [__name__]
    action: keep
    regex: <<your-regex>>

• The script can't extract metrics from panels with ES datasource
• Working only with editable dashboards
• Working only with valid dashboards (If grafana can't load it, the script won't extract the metrics)
