## About the app

In one particilar project, i had to import some key/value data to Prometheus. So i have decided to create my custom-built Node Exporter in Python, then dockerized it and shared it in my Github account.

In this example, i used API to get Bitcoin price in Dollar and Euro, import it in the Prometheus and visualize it using Grafana. You can import any data using your own Python scripts.


## Run Program

Login to the server where you want to run this exporter and clone the project:

```bash
  git clone https://github.com/hmdhszd/Custom_Prometheus_Node_Exporter-in-Python.git
```

Go to the project directory:

```bash
  cd Custom_Prometheus_Node_Exporter-in-Python
```

Build image and start the container:

```bash
  docker-compose up -d --build --force-recreate
```



## Add the exporter to Prometheus

Add this part at the end of the configuration of your Prometheus (prometheus.yaml):

```bash
  - job_name: python-exporter
    metrics_path: /metrics.txt
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['<IP-of-Node-Exporter's-Server>:9999']
```


## Add Grafana dashboards using imported items
