Text collector example scripts

These scripts are examples to be used with the Node Exporter Textfile Collector.

To use these scripts, we recommend using a sponge to atomically write the output.

<collector_script> | sponge <output_file>

Sponge comes from moreutils

• brew install moreutils
• apt install moreutils
• pkg install moreutils

Example Usecases
