chess-exporter
Prometheus exporter for chess.com player data implemented via chess.com’s published data API and Prometheus Python Client
Example use cases:
- Track chess.com player ratings (and more) in your own Prometheus database
- Set up an Alertmanager alert for when someone goes above 3000 rating in rapid on chess.com
- Create a Grafana dashboard for conveniently viewing chess data of your favourite players on chess.com
Deployment into Kubernetes
Simply deploy the Kubernetes manifests in the manifests folder.
Have a look at kustomization.yaml first.
Ensure that namespace suits you, and optionally uncomment servicemonitor.yaml.
kubectl apply -k manifests

Chess-exporter is highly configurable via environment variables, and a configuration file.
- The configuration file controls which metrics to track, and for which players
- The environment variables control a set of particular backend settings which you probably won’t need to modify
