End-of-Life Exporter

A Prometheus exporter that exposes product versions and their End-of-Life (EOL) dates as metrics using the endoflife.date API. Information is fetched only when Prometheus scrapes the /metrics endpoint.

Configuration

Configure products and their release cycles as shown below.

💡 Always verify product names on endoflife.date. If you don't specify a release, it defaults to the latest available one.

---
products:
  - name: mongo
    releases:
      - "8.0"
      - "7.0"
  - name: redis
  - name: ubuntu
    all_releases: true

Prometheus Configuration

Below is an example scrape configuration for Prometheus.

---
scrape_configs:
  - job_name: "endoflife_exporter"
    scrape_interval: 168h # Every week
    scrape_timeout: 2m # If you have a long list of products, you might want to increase the timeout.
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["endoflife_exporter:8080"]

Alerting Rules Example

groups:
  - name: endoflife.rules
    rules:
      - alert: ProductVersionEOLReachingSoon
        expr: avg by (product_name, release_cycle_name) (endoflife_eol_from_timestamp_seconds - time()) < (21 * 24 * 3600)
        for: 1h
        labels:
          severity: error
        annotations:
          message: 'Product ''{{ $labels.product_name }}'' release cycle ''{{ $labels.release_cycle_name }}'' reached its End-of-Life on {{ ($value | timestamp "2006-01-02") }}.'

Update endoflife OpenAPI Spec

• Check https://endoflife.date/docs/api/v1/ for changes.
• Update pkg/endoflife/openapi.yaml if needed and run task gen again.
• The upstream OpenAPI spec has a type mismatch: isEoes is defined as string but the API returns boolean
  • Workaround: Before running task gen, manually change the type at line 564 in openapi.yaml:

    isEoes:
      type: boolean # Changed from 'string'
      nullable: true
