# k8s-prometheus-file-exporter

A Prometheus exporter for K8s that serves metrics from a plain text file

## Usage

1. Create your own metrics file following Prometheus [text format](https://github.com/prometheus/docs/blob/master/content/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats.md#text-format-example).

2. Upload it to any cloud storage (it could be a Github Gist). 

3. Set the `METRICS_FILE_URL` env var value located in [deploy/deployment.yaml](deploy/deployment.yaml) to the URL of the recently uploaded file.

Then run:

```bash

kubectl apply -f deploy

```
