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](https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/)
|
||||
* [brew install moreutils](http://brewformulas.org/Moreutil)
|
||||
* [apt install moreutils](https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=moreutils)
