## Per-Service Resource Metrics (systemd-exporter)
|
||||
|
||||
### Current State
|
||||
|
||||
No per-service CPU, memory, or IO metrics are collected. The existing node-exporter systemd collector only provides unit state (active/inactive/failed), socket stats, and timer triggers. While systemd tracks per-unit resource usage via cgroups internally (visible in `systemctl status` and `systemd-cgtop`), this data is not exported to Prometheus.
|
||||
|
||||
### Available Solution
|
||||
|
||||
The `prometheus-systemd-exporter` package (v0.7.0) is available in nixpkgs with a ready-made NixOS module:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
services.prometheus.exporters.systemd.enable = true;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Options:** `enable`, `port`, `extraFlags`, `user`, `group`
|
||||
|
||||
This exporter reads cgroup data and exposes per-unit metrics including:
|
||||
- CPU seconds consumed per service
|
||||
- Memory usage per service
|
||||
- Task/process counts per service
|
||||
- Restart counts
|
||||
- IO usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommendation
|
||||
|
||||
Enable on all hosts via the shared `system/` config (same pattern as node-exporter). Add a corresponding scrape job on monitoring01. This would give visibility into resource consumption per service across the fleet, useful for capacity planning and diagnosing noisy-neighbor issues on shared hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Suggested Priority
|
||||
|
||||
1. **PostgreSQL** - Critical infrastructure, easy to add with existing nixpkgs module
