that's it. that's the whole vibe. you run it, you give it options, it goes off. 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so basically this little icon is a reverse proxy that sits in front of your other Prometheus exporters and handles the traffic for them. main character energy, honestly. 🫶

and here's all the flags it takes, no skips, no shortcuts, every single one:

• -allow.net value — Allow connection from this network specified in CIDR notation. Can be specified multiple times. (yes queen, stack them up 🔥)
• -config.dirs value — The path to directories of configuration files, can be specified multiple times.
• -config.file string — The path to the configuration file. (default "/etc/prometheus/exporter-exporter.yml")
• -config.skip-dirs — Skip non existent -config.dirs entries instead of terminating. (she's forgiving like that 🙈)

• -web.tls.cert string — Path to cert (default "cert.pem").

• -web.tls.key string — Path to key (default "key.pem").
• -web.tls.listen-address string — The address to listen on for HTTPS requests. 🔒
