A community maintained Kibana plugin that exposes metrics in the Prometheus format. Once Installed, please visit http://localhost:5601/_prometheus/metrics
First, locate the version you require on the release page. There is a couple of ways to install this plugin. The more common approach would be to download the correct version and run:
bin/kibana-plugin install https://github.com/pjhampton/kibana-prometheus-exporter/releases/download/6.5.2/kibana-prometheus-exporter-6.5.2.zip
Important: Please don't build off and install from the trunk (master). This is a development / experimental branch so don't be that girl/them/guy, please. The RELEASE/{NUM} branches are the release branches. This process is shaped by the Kibana release process.
You can install into your container with the following command (replace, or env set ${KIBANA_VERSION}):
RUN bin/kibana-plugin install https://github.com/pjhampton/kibana-prometheus-exporter/releases/download/${KIBANA_VERSION}/kibana-prometheus-exporter-${KIBANA_VERSION}.zip
Details on the various exported metrics are documented on the Github wiki page.
SSL certs should not be an issue - as it is a mirror request the plugin does not check the servers identity. As for X-Pack and Basic Auth enablement, you can add the following to your config/kibana.yml and replace with your user and pass. The credentials are encoded in a Base64 header when sent over the wire.
kibana-prometheus-exporter.user: kibanaUser
kibana-prometheus-exporter.pass: ohSoSecret!
