Update the exporter logging on startup to include the exporter version,
the path to the fail2ban socket, and whether basic-auth is enabled or not.
Fix code printing error messages on invalid CLI parameters to correct line
breaks and correctly print the "usage" information.
Update the CLI param parser to include a default value for the fail2ban
socket file path. This is the default location fail2ban creates the socket
file on an ubuntu-based system.
Update the Dockerfile entrypoint script to use the correct version flag
syntax. The flag now requires two dashes instead of one. The syntax for
the texfile collector has also change, and the script was updated
accordingly.
Fix incorrect order of variable assignment when parsing CLI flags.
Replace CLI parsing functionality with the `kingpin` library to better
support configuring the tool with environment variables.
Add new environment variables to configure the tool.
BREAKING CHANGE: CLI params now require two dashes instead of one (e.g. `--socket`)
Add new CLI parameters to enable protecting the API endpoints with basic
auth authentication.
Wrap the server endpoints in a new auth middleware that protects it using
the provided basic auth credentials (if set).
Store the provided basic auth credentials as hashed values to prevent them
from being accidentally leaked.
Add unit tests to ensure the new functionality works as expected.
Add new -web.listen-address command line parameter, so that the
listening interface can be limited. This follows a similar style as
the official prometheus-node-exporter project.
Update project README with the new parameter.
Remove all database-based metrics from the metrics endpoint.
Remove all code related to pulling metrics from the fail2ban database.
Remove all configuration variables related to the fail2ban database.
The CLI parameter for the database path was not removed to avoid breaking
compatibility.
Update docker entrypoint to remove references to the fail2ban database.
Remove all references to the old database metrics from the README.
Add support for collecting arbitrary metrics from a textfile as well as
metrics collected from fail2ban. This allows other data to be exported
along with the fail2ban metrics (e.g. instance metadata).
Update the docker image to allow mounting a folder with a collection of
metric files to be exported. Only files ending in `.prom` with be read.
Update project README with the new functionality.
Update all old database-based metrics to include the `deprecated` text.
Add a warning on startup if connecting to the fail2ban database to state
that this functionality will be removed in a future release.
Rename deprecated methods and variables.
Add support for connecting the exporter directly to the fail2ban server's
socket to send requests and receive data. The path to the socket file is
optional and specified on startup.
Export a new metric based on the response of the `ping` command sent to the
fail2ban server. The metric is set to 1 if the server responds with `pong`
and 0 in any other case. This metric is only shown if the path to the
socket file was provided on startup.
Update the project structure to move all golang files to a new `src/`
folder. This keeps all the code located in the same place and easier to
work with.
Update the Makefile and goreleaser config to continue to work with the new
folder structure.
