1-Wire Prometheus Exporter

This simple python script exports the temperature values of arbitrary many DS18S20 sensors connected to a Raspberry Pi to the monitoring framework Prometheus.io. An tutorial how to connect one or more DS18S20 sensors to your Raspberry Pi can be found here. The temperature_sensor.service file is an example file for a service managed by SystemD. You can use the service file to autostart the exporter on boot.

One remark: Since the DS18S20 needs 750ms to measure the temperature and convert it into a digital representation, you should set your Prometheus scrape_interval to at least n * 750ms. n is the number of DS18S20 sensors on your 1-wire bus.

Installation

First checkout this git repository:

    git clone https://github.com/hikhvar/w1_prometheus_exporter.git
    cd w1_prometheus_exporter

If you don't have pip install it via:

    sudo apt-get install python-pip

Then install the python prometheus client:

    sudo pip install prometheus_client

Then copy the exporter.py file to /opt/prometheus_temperature and the temperature_sensor.service to /etc/systemd/system:

    sudo mkdir -p /opt/prometheus_temperature
    sudo cp exporter.py /opt/prometheus_temperature
    sudo cp temperature_sensor.service /etc/systemd/system

Register the service and start it:

    sudo systemctl enable temperature_sensor.service
    sudo systemctl start temperature_sensor.service

Now you are done and can check your sensor values via:

    curl localhost:8001

Have fun!
