Export helm stats into the Prometheus format

Helm Exporter

 

Exports helm release, chart, and version statistics in the prometheus format.

Installation

• A helm chart is available in this repository.
• helm install helm-exporter sstarcher/helm-exporter will install and metrics should scrape automatically if prometheus is running
• If using Grafana you can use this Dashboard to have a list of what's running https://grafana.com/dashboards/9367

Metrics

• http://host:9571/metrics

Format

helm_chart_info{chart="ark",release="ark",version="1.2.1",latestVersion="1.2.3",appVersion="1.2.3",updated="1553201431",namespace="test"} 1
helm_chart_info{chart="cluster-autoscaler",release="cluster-autoscaler",version="0.7.0",latestVersion=7.3.2,appVersion="",updated="1553201431",namespace="other"} 4
helm_chart_info{chart="dex",release="dex",version="0.1.0",latestVersion="3.4.0",appVersion="1.2.3",updated="1553201431",namespace="test"} 1

The metric value is the helm status code. These status codes indexes do not map up directly to helm. This is so I can make the bad cases negative values.
