I just browsed through the Telegraf GitHub page and noticed that Telegraf even has integrated support for parsing metrics in Prometheus' format: https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/prometheus Considering this and the ongoing standardisation effort, maybe it makes more sense to stick to a single exporter? We can consider extending the man page to mention that it can also be used in combination with Telegraf. -- Ed Schouten Nuxi, 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands
