Prometheus exporters bridge the gap between Prometheus and systems which cannot export metrics in the Prometheus format. During this talk, you will learn how to gather metrics from a wide variety of data sources, including files, network services, hardware devices, and system calls to the Linux kernel. You will also learn how to build a reliable Prometheus exporter using the Go programming language. This talk is intended for developers who are interested in bridging the gap between Prometheus and other hardware or software.
Matt Layher is a Distributed Systems Engineer at Fastly, a member of the Prometheus team, and a regular contributor to a wide variety of open source networking applications and libraries written in Go.
