factorio-rcon-prometheus-exporter

A Prometheus Exporter that generates metrics by connecting to a Factorio server over RCON and executing a Lua script.

Usage

[!CAUTION] This will disable achievements because Factorio does not differentiate between reading and writing when using the Lua API.

With Docker Compose:

  factorio-rcon-prometheus-exporter:
    image: sleavely/factorio-rcon-prometheus-exporter:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      # HTTP server options for Prometheus to scrape
      - HOST=0.0.0.0
      - PORT=9772
      # Factorio RCON params
      - RCON_HOST=my-factorio-server
      - RCON_PORT=27015
      - RCON_PASSWORD=
      # The factorio_available_items metric counts items on belts, in chests, etc.
      # This can cause the server to momentarily freeze, so by default it only does it when no players are online.
      # To change this, set COUNT_AVAILABLE_ITEMS to "never", or "always"
      - COUNT_AVAILABLE_ITEMS=

Then, in your Prometheus configuration:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: factorio
    scrape_interval: 60s
    static_configs:
    - targets:
      - factorio-rcon-prometheus-exporter:9772
