# Exporters and integrations

There are a number of libraries and servers which help in exporting existing
metrics from third-party systems as Prometheus metrics. This is useful for
cases where it is not feasible to instrument a given system with Prometheus
metrics directly (for example, HAProxy or Linux system stats).

## Third-party exporters

Some of these exporters are maintained as part of the official [Prometheus GitHub organization](https://github.com/prometheus),
those are marked as *official*, others are externally contributed and maintained.

We encourage the creation of more exporters but cannot
vet all of them for [best practices](https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/writing_exporters/). Commonly, those exporters are
hosted outside of the Prometheus GitHub organization.

The [JMX exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/jmx_exporter) can export from a
wide variety of JVM-based applications, for example [Kafka](http://kafka.apache.org/) and
[Cassandra](http://cassandra.apache.org/).

When implementing a new Prometheus exporter, please follow the
[guidelines on writing exporters](/docs/instrumenting/writing_exporters)
Please also consider consulting the [development mailing
list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/prometheus-developers).  We are
happy to give advice on how to make your exporter as useful and consistent as
possible.

## Directly instrumented software

Some third-party software already exposes Prometheus metrics natively, so no
separate exporters are needed:

   * [cAdvisor](https://github.com/google/cadvisor)
   * [Doorman](https://github.com/youtube/doorman)
   * [Etcd](https://github.com/coreos/etcd)
   * [Kubernetes-Mesos](https://github.com/mesosphere/kubernetes-mesos)
   * [Kubernetes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes)
   * [RobustIRC](http://robustirc.net/)
   * [Quobyte](https://www.quobyte.com/)
   * [SkyDNS](https://github.com/skynetservices/skydns)
   * [Weave Flux](http://weaveworks.github.io/flux/)

## Other third-party utilities

This section lists libraries and other utilities that help you instrument code
in a certain language. They are not Prometheus client libraries themselves but
make use of one of the normal Prometheus client libraries under the hood. As
for all independently maintained software, we cannot vet all of them for best
practices.

   * Clojure: [prometheus-clj](https://github.com/soundcloud/prometheus-clj)
   * Go: [go-metrics instrumentation library](https://github.com/armon/go-metrics)
   * Go: [gokit](https://github.com/peterbourgon/gokit)
   * Java/JVM: [Hystrix metrics publisher](https://github.com/soundcloud/prometheus-hystrix)
   * Python-Django: [django-prometheus](https://github.com/korfuri/django-prometheus)
