PrometheusExporter #571

Open iDustbin opened 1 year ago

iDustbin commented 1 year ago

Hi, would it be possible to include an PrometheusExporter to export all values to an selfhosted Prometheus instance, cloud ?

I don't think it would be a good idea to directly expose a prometheus exporter from this application, since iOS apps typically do not expose a webserver (probably due to iOS being able to stop the server at any time, especially when inactive - and when it's active, it's actively using the radios which would contribute to battery drain).

If you want to remotely monitor your data, how about integrating with NightScout to have a centralized location for your glucose data? (this is already integrated into the application) From some light googling, it looks like someone exported from NightScout to prometheus via https://github.com/dabear/nightscout_exporter, so that could be an option if you still want to export prometheus metrics from somewhere.

disclaimer: I am not a maintainer of this repository so I can't speak for the development direction for this project.
