Hey! 2016-12-21 20:53 GMT+01:00 Edward Tomasz Napiera=C5=82a <trasz@freebsd.org>= : > That's a very good reason; it could also be fixed by moving > it from sbin/ to libexec/. I'm not sure that doing that is a good idea. You can also invoke this exporter through cron(8), so that it can be collected by the Prometheus node exporter. Another use case is invoking it from within a CGI script, so that it can be embedded in an existing web service. Storing the executable under /usr/libexec would therefore be a bit weird. > Another advantage of having the "prometheus" in the name is that it's > easily googlable, and it clearly indicates the "protocol" (in the wide > meaning) one is supposed to use to talk to it. Agreed. Let's leave it the way it is right now, as I don't feel like upsetting Warner. ;-) --=20 Ed Schouten <ed@nuxi.nl> Nuxi, 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands KvK-nr.: 62051717
