Rustbased exporter that converts arbitrary JSON to the .prom format.

This small application works great in tandem with the Prometheus node-exporter. If you place the converted JSON -> prom data in the /var/lib/prometheus/node-exporter/ directory, the metrics will be added to the node-exporter output.

Build the project using Cargo:

cargo build --release

The binary can then be found under target/release/rusty-json-prom-exporter

Run the binary as:

./rusty-json-prom-exporter [url] [filename]

or better yet, set up a linux systemd service:

[Unit]
