AmneziaWG exporter

AmneziaWG exporter is a Prometheus exporter for gathering AmneziaWG client connection metrics.

Features and limitations

Client identification

amneziawg-exporter can optionally identify WireGuard clients using a client table. If this feature is enabled, clients are identified by their names; otherwise, they are marked as "unidentified."

Operating modes

amneziawg-exporter has three operating modes (AWG_EXPORTER_OPS_MODE environment variable):

• http - Run an HTTP server on AWG_EXPORTER_HTTP_PORT to make metrics accessible, like most exporters. Default
• metricsfile - Write metrics to AWG_EXPORTER_METRICS_FILE instead of serving them on an HTTP port.
• oneshot - Same as in metricsfile mode, but the service creates a metrics file and then shuts down. In Docker, you can use a volume to save the file on disk. It can then be used by node-exporter to serve your exporter metrics.
• grafana_cloud - Sends metrics directly to Grafana Cloud using the provided API URL and token.
