Prometheus Jellyfin Exporter

This is an exporter that exposes information gathered from Jellyfin for use by the Prometheus monitoring system.

Installation

Requires Python 3.9 or better.

Usage

Visit http://localhost:9221/jellyfin?target=1.2.3.4 where 1.2.3.4 is the IP of the Jellyfin server to get metrics from. Specify the module request parameter, to choose which module to use from the config file.

The target request parameter defaults to localhost. Hence if jellyfin_exporter is deployed directly on the jellyfin host, target can be omitted.

Authentication

Using jellyfin.yml config file

Example jellyfin.yml for token authentication:

default:
  api_key: "your token"
  verify_ssl: true
