## Common questions

### What qBittorrent statistics can I collect for Grafana-style monitoring?

A self-hosted thread describes using a qBittorrent Prometheus exporter to collect total download and upload statistics. Those statistics can be derived into flow rates for dashboards.

### How can I verify that Prometheus sees the exporter?

After starting the exporter and Prometheus, check the target's health in the targets API. If the target is down, the scrape address, port, or firewall is likely wrong and qBittorrent metrics will not appear.

### Which Prometheus settings affect how fresh or reliable the qBittorrent metrics are?

Set scrape_interval and scrape_timeout in Prometheus' global config if you need quicker or more reliable metrics. The defaults can leave dashboards up to a minute stale or make slow scrapes fail.

### How can I autostart the exporter on boot?

Download the release package, extract it, and build and install it with makepkg -si. You can then enable the bundled systemd service so the exporter starts on boot.

### Is there a PyPI release available?

The PyPI page lists release files for prometheus-qbittorrent-exporter 1.7.0. It references source distributions and built wheels as package formats.
