PlayerCount-exporter

Grafana-Prometheus exporter to get PlayerCount of different GameServers

Starting Exporter

The easiest way is to start one exporter on each GameServer via Docker. Just take the docker-compose.yml from this repo and start it with docker compose up -d. Now add a config like the one below to your Prometheus Server, and that's it...

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv
venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
venv/bin/pre-commit install
sed -nr '/direnv hook bash/!p;$aeval "\$(direnv hook bash)"' -i ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
echo -e "source venv/bin/activate\nunset PS1" > .envrc
direnv allow

Setup Build-Environment

If not allready created for an other project

sudo docker buildx create --name multi-arch --platform "linux/arm64,linux/amd64,linux/arm/v7" --driver "docker-container"
sudo docker buildx use multi-arch
sudo docker buildx inspect --bootstrap
