prometheus_ss_exporter

Exporter that gathers Operating System Network Socket Statistics as Metrics.

Underlying collection logic consumed is pyroute2 - more specifically ss2.

Hints

Although the label space for individual flows is bounded by the underlying flowing constraints configured on kernel level.

Nontheless, for very variadic traffic flow patterns with many flows being created and being phased out, this exporter may does lead to a overwhelming label space. That can already hold true for short amounts of times.

Hence, depending on the specific granularity requirements and resources of the scenario to run this exporter in, one should deliberately consider to make use of following options:

Mitigation tactics are:

The --storage.tsdb.retention= option of the prometheus server. It gives bounds to the metrics label data held available can relieve capacity constraints significantly. Nigh this is not necessarily confined to ad-hoc oriented introspection deployments of the exporter. That's also correct on vaster scale, let's say when one is apt at forming a distinct retention (sub)hierarchy of servers, maybe within a set of prometheus federations.
To further reduce the flow metrics label cardinality, use the data selection configration aspects of the exporter. That confines the collection to only selected flows with certain characteristics.
