@Bagul Great work on the new Dev build

Emby Theater - Direct play

Firefox - Transcode

Bitrate at 0mbps, I'll check this problem

[Neminem 1709]

Ha didn't even see that

[cochize1 55]

shouldn't it be "localhost:9469"?

[Neminem 1709]

That depends on your setup of the exporter.

The default port is 9210

Here is my prometheus setup snip

- job_name: 'emby-exporter'
  
    scrape_interval: 15s
    
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["192.168.1.4:9210"]

 

[cochize1 55]

yeah, I just copied mine assuming it was default but I must have chenged it along the way. Either way, 8096 is Emby's default hence I figure that the port was the problem.

[Neminem 1709]

@beta666can you post your docker compose.

Because port 8096 is the http port of Emby, not the exporter.

If you use that port for both dockers, then you will end up with conflicts.  

[Neminem 1709]

Ok I'm running Unraid, so can't help you sorry.

Hello,

I have to admit that I don't really have any information.

Could you share (hiding private information) your configuration file for the exporter.

Even with an IP address it doesn't work strangely

 

 

What have you installed to obtain these metrics? Why does it point to port 8096?

 

I have the impression that you are using an exporter that has nothing to do with this thread. But maybe I'm wrong

Here are the metrics you should have with the tool proposed on this thread.

I know there was a plugin for Emby to export metrics. If I have the time, I'd like to transpose my project into an Emby plugin, but for the moment I don't have one.

[Neminem 1709]

Uhhhh where did you find that plugin ?

This thread is not a plugin its a seppret docker that pulls metrics from emby.

And passes it on to Prometheus, so we can use that in Grafana.

If you found it here 

 

then support questions should be directed there.

That's right, I was going to send the link, but you were quicker than me ahah.

I think the best thing to do is to open a new thread to describe your problem. This thread unfortunately has nothing to do with this plugin. 

But I'll be happy to help you, just send me the link by mp to the thread you've opened.

[Bagul 184]

And since we're talking about the plugin, the exporter's next step is to transpose it into a plugin for greater simplicity. If anyone knows how to make an Emby plugin, I'd be happy to learn.

Emby.Metrics.dll 10.5 kB · 0 downloads    I found it in the Emby forum, trying to connect it, unfortunately, it's not working

The only thing I can offer you on this thread is to try my exporter: 
https://github.com/TOomaAh/emby_exporter_go

You can download the executable (in the releases on the right) and read the readme on the same link.

Sorry, I'm a beginner in this matter. I downloaded it from Github. What's the next step?

 

 

1. Go to this link https://github.com/TOomaAh/emby_exporter_go/releases/tag/v1.0.8
2. Download the version that corresponds to your operating system (in your case, Windows: emby_exporter_go_1.0.8_windows_amd64.tar.gz if it's a 64-bit Windows).
3. There's a system for geolocating ip addresses. Either you disable it (I'll come back to this later) or you must:
 a.  Go to this site: https://www.maxmind.com/en/home
 b. Create an account (it's a well-known, trusted site that doesn't send out newsletters)
 c. Download the GeoLite2 City database
 d. Unzip it
 e. Move the file with the .mmdb extension next to the executable.
 f. Rename the .mmdb file to "geoip.mmdb"

4. Next to the executable, create a "config.yml" file

5. Use this template and write it to the config.yml file (Indentation must be respected):

server:
  url: "http://<ip|domain name>"
  port: 8096
  token: "your token"
  userID: "your userID"
options: # optional
  geoip: true # optional : default false

6. Replace the requested information with your own. (for the token it's in the token section in the emby parameters) for the userId: https://github.com/TOomaAh/emby_exporter_go?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-get-your-userid

 

Then open a cmd/powershell and run the executable from it

Nice work, whats up with the dashboards provided in the OP and on github? the one from the OP has three wan address blocks and none of them actually contain the wan address?

The one on github is even worse off

I haven't actually updated the dashboards after the many changes I've made. Perhaps @jaycedkcan provide you with his Dashboard?

[Neminem 1709]

Sorry mate, mine is highly customized, with a lot from my unraid server.

So more than half of it will not work. 

[Neminem 1709]

It also looks like he is using it with Emby server beta.

Have that been tested ?

Somethings might have changed.

Ah, yes. I'll test and update the Dashboard then. 

[Bagul 184]

@Luke, has the /System/Info api changed? If I make a request on this api with a generated token, I no longer get information such as the WAN address. But if I retrieve a token from a browser query, I do get the information.
