Getting Started

The following settings are required:
  • endpoint (no default): The URL to send data to. See your F5 Cloud account for details.
  • source (no default): A unique identifier that is used to distinguish where this data is coming from (e.g. dev_cluster). This is in addition to the pipeline attributes and resources.
  • f5cloud_auth.credential_file (no default): Path to the credential file used to authenticate this client. See your F5 Cloud account for details.
The following settings can be optionally configured:
  • f5cloud_auth.audience (no default): Identifies the recipient that the authentication JWT is intended for. See your F5 Cloud account for details.
  • timeout (default = 30s): HTTP request time limit. For details see https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#Client
  • read_buffer_size (default = 0): ReadBufferSize for HTTP client.
  • write_buffer_size (default = 512 * 1024): WriteBufferSize for HTTP client.
Example:
f5cloud:
  endpoint: https://<ENDPOINT_FOUND_IN_F5_CLOUD_PORTAL>
  source: prod
  f5cloud_auth:
    credential_file: "/etc/creds/key.json"
The full list of settings exposed for this exporter are documented here with detailed sample configurations here. This exporter also offers proxy support as documented here.
