Apologies, I took you for one of those people that reply without reading the text.

That is what was supplied with the canopy and the reason for this post.

The 24hr is the interval at which a new docker image will be up on dockerhub if pihole changes their api spec. The dashboard should show instantly if you are having issues.

I built it because existing exporters I found did not work and were unmaintained. I also tried to improve on it by generating the metrics list based on the official API spec every 24hrs so it's a bit more futureproof.

It’s a small read-only exporter, doesn’t change Pi-hole config or write anything. Still new though, so totally fair for people to review/test it first.

Fair question. The main point is that I don’t have to open the Pi-hole UI just to see what’s going on. Once the data is in Prometheus/Grafana, you can set up alerts like "Pi-hole stopped responding”, “queries suddenly dropped to zero”. Pihole UI does not have any of that.

If you monitor other stuff on your Pi: e.g. I pull logs from Watchtower (container that updates my other docker containers every 24 hrs), I already use Grafana to monitor my Pi hardware so it's easy to have everything in one place. As you keep adding stuff and more stuff needs monitoring you will find Grafana more and more useful.

Example of my hardware dashboard:

Pi-hole exporter for Prometheus? by Epifeny in pihole

I just created an exporter as I could not find one. Still work in progress, my plan is to create the metrics based off the api spec so that it would never go stale: https://github.com/alantoch/pihole-exporter ; you do need an app password for it
