configure prometheus targets to read metrics from text file

Question

is it possible to configure Prometheus to use text file as the source of metrics?

i tried config prometheus.yml like below but that not works.

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'custom_job'
    static_configs:
    - targets: ['C:\CustomJobLogs\metrics.txt']

does Prometheus support metrics from text file or not?

Answer 1

if you use windows, use textfile collector from wmi_exporter

and if you use linux, use textfile collector from node_exporter
