Exit on startup with "Could not fetch all the stats. Exiting now!"

[joaopalma5]

Hello,

When I run the following command:
docker run -p 8089:8090 livetocode/camunda-prometheus-exporter -server http://localhost:8080 -port 8090 -fetch-runtime true -fetch-history true -fetch-metrics true

I got this error:
2019/11/15 16:02:59 Fetching initial metrics
2019/11/15 16:02:59 Could not fetch all the stats. Exiting now!

If I remove all fetch args works good... What is the problem?

Best regards

@joaopalma5 check out https://github.com/StephenOTT/camunda-prometheus-process-engine-plugin. Can get similar stats and provides easy customization.

Hi,

All the fetch options are enabled by default, so you don't have to explicitly turn them on.
However, if you want to turn them off, you should do "-fetch-history=false" instead.

Finally, you could enable verbose mode to have more information:
docker run -p 8089:8090 livetocode/camunda-prometheus-exporter -server http://localhost:8080 -port 8090 -verbose

Also, this tool was created for Camunda 7.7 and I don't know if their APIs have changed since.

Thanks for your interest,
Morgan
