Prometheus Configuration

The ted5000 exporter needs to be passed the address as a parameter, this can be done with relabelling.

Example config:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'ted5000'
    static_configs:
      - targets:
        - 192.168.1.2  # TED5000 device.
    metrics_path: /metrics
    params:
      module: [if_mib]
    relabel_configs:
      - source_labels: [__address__]
        target_label: __param_target
      - source_labels: [__param_target]
        target_label: instance
      - target_label: __address__
        replacement: 127.0.0.1:9747  # TED5000 exporter.

This setup allows Prometheus to provide scheduling and service discovery, as unlike all other exporters running an exporter on the machine from which we are getting the metrics from is not possible.
