How to configure multiple queries in wmi_exporter?

Question

I downloaded the "wmi_exporter-0.7.0-386.exe" from the link wmi exporter and ran the '.exe' file using command prompt.

Also i have followed the guidance link prometheus wmi guidance to run the command in the command prompt ,it executed as expected and i am able to check the metrics in "http://localhost:9182/metrics".

My problem here is , if i run the command "./wmi_exporter-0.7.0-386.exe" alone using the command prompt , i am able to check the memory utilization of my system.For example it is showing the details of the memory utilization like "wmi_cs_physical_memory_bytes 3.4673408e+10" and all the memory details as well in browser metrics.

But if i run the command ".\wmi_exporter.exe --collectors.enabled "process" --collector.process.processes-where "Name LIKE 'firefox%'"" , in metrics it is filtering only the "firefox" browser related things , i am not able to check the system memory utilization details like "wmi_cs_physical_memory_bytes 3.4673408e+10".

Kindly suggest me how to get the system utilization details as well as firefox related details in metrics.

Answer 1

Querying is very simple , just need to add the collector in the query itself,

.\wmi_exporter.exe --collectors.enabled "process,cs,logical_disk" --collector.process.processes-where "Name LIKE 'firefox%'"

where 'cs' collects local system details , 'logical_disk' collects local drives memory details (such as 'C:\','D:\')

and the "Name LIKE 'firefox'" part collects the fixefox details

You just need to add collector query, for all the services which you want to monitor.Like,

msiexec /i C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\wmi_exporter-0.4.3-amd64 ENABLED_COLLECTORS="cpu,cs,logical_disk,os,net,system,process,service,memory" --% EXTRA_FLAGS="--collector.service.services-where ""Name LIKE 'sisense%'"""
