windows_exporter - v0.15.0

Published by carlpett almost 4 years ago

⚠️ Breaking changes

windows_mssql_transactions_active_total has been removed, and is replaced by windows_mssql_transactions_active (see below)

Enhancements

  • Specific allowed remote IPs can now be set on the firewall rule created by the installed. The default is still to allow any machine access. (#608, thanks @siku4!)
  • TCP collector now uses perflib instead of WMI, which will lead to faster collection times (#615, thanks @mallenLF!)
  • TCP collector now exposed both IPv6 statistics in addition to the IPv4 statistics previously exposed. There is a new label af (address family) which lets you separate the two (#615, thanks @mallenLF!)

  • Add a time collector with metrics about the Windows Time Service (#639)
  • Add a collect[] url parameter if you need to customize what collectors to use per-scrape (#640, thanks @fischerman!)

  • Add support for configuration files as a complement to command line flags (#638)

Bug fixes

  • Fix a panic in the hyperv collector when WMI data is in the wrong format (#632)
  • windows_mssql_transactions_active_total was erronously a counter, and has been replaced by a gauge windows_mssql_transactions_active (#636)

Changes

  • The WMI library has been upgraded, which will hopefully fix rare memory leaks on some systems (#631, thanks @dcrn)
  • Build exporter with Go 1.15 (#630, thanks @snoyberg!)
  • Change the ordering of operations during upgrades, so that the old version is shut down before installing the new one (#597)
  • Add a dependency on the WMI Performance Adapter for service start. This attempts to fix the exporter not starting at boot for some systems, please let us know if you still see the exporter failing to start (#645)

windows_exporter - v0.13.0

Published by carlpett over 4 years ago

Breaking changes

Project renamed and moved

The exporter has been renamed to windows_exporter, and moved to the prometheus-community organization (see #519).

This includes changing the metrics' name prefixes from wmi_ to windows_, meaning that all queries need to be changed to match the new names.
For example, windows_cpu_time_total replaces wmi_cpu_time_total.

There are no functional changes in this release.

windows_exporter - v0.12.0

Published by carlpett over 4 years ago

Deprecation note

This is the last planned release with the wmi_exporter name, future releases will be named windows_exporter. See #499 and #519 for context.
This also means that the next release will have a breaking change, the metrics will change names from wmi_... to windows_.... You will need to adjust your dashboards and alerts. See this comment for a suggestion if you want to rename metrics already now.

Enhancements

  • New collector: terminal_services (#491, thanks @asiyani!)
  • New collector: remotefx (#491, thanks @asiyani!)
  • New collector: dhcp (#493, thanks @breed808!)
  • New collector: exchange (#508, thanks @rmyhren and @eikaas!)
  • Add wmi_service_info metric with display_name and pid labels (#516, thanks @gsanchezgavier!)

Bug fixes

  • Exporter now gives an error message instead of crashing if a non-existing collector is specified in --collectors.enabled (#529)
  • Collector generator now works with Powershell 7 (#523, thanks @basroovers)
windows_exporter - v0.11.1

Published by carlpett over 4 years ago

Bug fixes

  • ADFS collector was not registering correctly since 0.10.0, leading to failed scrapes (#506)
windows_exporter - v0.11.0

Published by carlpett over 4 years ago

Breaking changes

⚠️ This release has breaking changes! Make sure to read and understand the below before upgrading!

  • We no longer redirect all paths to /metrics (#473). This means that if you configured Prometheus to scrape eg /not-metrics but did not configure wmi_exporter to expose the metrics on this port (using the --telemetry.path flag), your scrapes will now fail with a http 404. Make sure your Prometheus job configuration and the exporter configuration matches!
  • The --collector.process.processes-where flag has been removed, in favour of --collector.process.whitelist and --collector.process.blacklist (see more below)

Enhancements

  • The process collector has been rewritten to use perflib (#489), yielding significant performance improvements. Since it no longer uses WMI, the filtering mechanism can no longer use WQL. It now instead uses a white- and blacklist with regular expressions, like several other collectors.
  • We now limit how many concurrent scrapes are allowed (#474). The exporter will only accept a limited number (by default 5) requests to be processed simultaneously. A flag --max-requests can be used to tune this. Typically, running several simultaneous scrapes tends to make the WMI subsystem slow.
windows_exporter - v0.10.2

Published by carlpett over 4 years ago

Bug fixes

  • The version information is now properly written into the binary (#480)
