okay bestie, buckle up, we're reading the scaphandre prometheus page together 🌸 this is a User Commands situation, and I promise it's way less scary than it looks.

✨ NAME ✨

scaphandre prometheus — expose the metrics to a Prometheus HTTP endpoint 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

scaphandre prometheus [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options go brrr, metrics go out over HTTP 📡

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Expose the metrics to a Prometheus HTTP endpoint.

no cap, that's literally the job. it takes your metrics and puts them on an HTTP endpoint so Prometheus can come get them 💅

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -a, --address <ADDRESS> — the IP address (v4 or v6, we don't discriminate) of the metrics endpoint for Prometheus. default is 0.0.0.0 ✨
• -p, --port <PORT> — the TCP port of the metrics endpoint for Prometheus. default is 8080 🔥
• -s, --suffix <SUFFIX> — default is metrics. yeah she's mysterious, the manpage gave us the default and nothing else, so we respect the mystery 🙈💜
• --qemu — apply labels to metrics of processes that look like a Qemu/KVM virtual machine 🖥️✨
• --containers — apply labels to metrics of processes running as containers 📦
• -h, --help — print help 🫶

real talk though: those two label flags (--qemu and --containers) are the ones that make your metrics readable when you're swimming in a sea of processes. turn them on and suddenly everything has a name and a vibe. iykyk 👑
