prometheus-pacman-exporter/contrib, branch mainCollect pacman package metrics and export them for Prometheus.https://git.dennisfink.me/prometheus-pacman-exporter/atom/contrib?h=main2026-09-27T11:20:47Zfix(commands): classify command failures for retries2026-09-27T11:20:47ZDennis Fink2026-09-27T11:14:07Zurn:sha1:555d50bfd10b1ac983aec17cf5b3cdf3a9cb99d7
Allow command invocations to define which child exit codes are
considered successful, including checkupdates exit status 2 when no
updates are available.
Classify unexpected child command failures as exporter exit status 1 so
systemd treats them as runtime failures eligible for retry. Keep exit
status 2 for CLI usage errors, which are configuration problems and
should not be retried.
Update the systemd service with RestartPreventExitStatus=2 so only
retryable runtime failures trigger the configured restart policy.
feat(systemd): retry failed exporter runs2026-09-27T11:13:05ZDennis Fink2026-09-27T11:13:05Zurn:sha1:142af72ebc9e1c2151101d6c3318ee48fdf00a87
Update the systemd service to restart the exporter on failure up to five
times with a ten-minute delay between attempts.
Update the systemd timer to use Persistent=true so missed daily runs are
triggered after downtime, and remove network-online ordering from the
timer.
Keep network-online ordering on the service and remove the stale borg
cache reference from its hardening comment.
fix(systemd): wait for network to be online2026-09-27T06:48:30ZDennis Fink2026-09-27T06:48:30Zurn:sha1:cb9dc38c1235065346dd9aa6783de8d7d72a8317
Order the exporter service and timer after network-online.target and add
a Wants dependency so network connectivity is established before they
run.
fix(systemd): avoid catch-up timer runs2026-09-20T10:18:49ZDennis Fink2026-09-20T10:18:49Zurn:sha1:37cbc5840fe53776ba9ebbbce1aa4cb61ceec7f9
Remove Persistent=true so missed daily runs are not triggered
automatically when the system comes back online.
fix(systemd): allow pacman commands to run2026-09-20T10:18:20ZDennis Fink2026-09-20T10:18:20Zurn:sha1:b0fd72a136a4ec36c54b5ae5c27479acb7e7a020
Remove syscall restrictions that prevent pacman and related subprocesses
from running successfully under the systemd service.
Also remove the outdated comment about ProtectSystem and ProtectHome.
feat(systemd): add service and timer units2026-09-19T22:38:55ZDennis Fink2026-09-19T22:38:55Zurn:sha1:0f1d5637df9286af9999fc7d1c03025e82ffda34
Add a hardened oneshot service for running the exporter with arguments
loaded from /etc/conf.d/prometheus-pacman-exporter.
Add a persistent daily timer for automatic metric collection and include
a default empty configuration file for additional command-line options.
