Hi Adrian, 2016-12-21 18:32 GMT+01:00 Adrian Chadd <adrian.ch...@gmail.com>: > Maybe just "sysctl_export" would be fine.
Good point. Almost all Prometheus metrics exporters use this naming scheme: ~80%: ${foo}_exporter ~20%: prometheus_${foo}_exporter Examples; - https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter - https://github.com/ewr/elasticsearch_exporter - https://github.com/jonnenauha/prometheus_varnish_exporter The reason why I went for the 'prometheus_' prefix was mainly because of the following totally subjective reasons: - I didn't want to wreck tab completion. Right now if you type in 'sysc' and press tab, it tends to complete to 'sysctl'. - This tool is part of the base system, meaning that it will be present even if the user did nothing special. This is why I wanted the name to be a bit more self-documenting. - Thinking ahead: what if we're going to add exporters for other things as well? E.g., for Sendmail, sshd, ftpd, HAST, etc. In that case it would be nicer if those exporters shared a common prefix. That said, if people truly think it's a good idea to call this sysctl_exporter instead, then I wouldn't mind renaming it. Thoughts?
