NTP-METRICS-EXPORTER(1)

✨ NAME ✨

ntp-metrics-exporter — okay bestie, it's literally just called ntp-metrics-exporter, that's the whole name, she's an icon who needs no subtitle 💅

This one's from the User Commands section of the manual, so you already know it's giving "type it in the terminal and watch the magic happen" energy 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea, bestie: ntp-metrics-exporter is the lil' sidekick that serves up ntpd-rs's openmetrics over http. That's it. That's the job. You run her, she puts your ntpd-rs metrics on the wire in openmetrics format, and your dashboards get to eat. 🔥

The usage vibe check is:

usage: ntp-metrics-exporter [-c PATH]

or, if you're just here to ask a quick question and dip:

ntp-metrics-exporter -h | ntp-metrics-exporter -v

Lowkey the whole program is one flag and two "pls just tell me stuff" flags. Simple. Clean. Iconic. Periodt. ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -c, --config=CONFIG — points at your ntpd-rs configuration file. If you don't say anything, she assumes the default: /etc/ntpd-rs/ntp.toml. Not optional-optional, like, it has a default, but if your config lives somewhere else you gotta tell her 🎀
• -h, --help — displays this help text. The "bestie I'm lost" button. No notes, we love a helpful queen 🙈
• -v, --version — displays version information. The "who even are you" button. She'll tell you exactly which build you're running 🌈

---

ngl the whole thing is three flags, so the vibe check takes like four seconds and then you're already exporting metrics. slay.
