Prerequisites:

• Go
• Nest developer API token⁠ (use PIN-based authorization)

Building:

go get github.com/scnewma/nest_exporter
cd ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/scnewma/nest_exporter
make
./nest_exporter --nest.token=[TOKEN]

⁠Running Tests

make test

⁠Using Docker

# put Nest token in .token file then
make docker-run

# OR

docker run -p 9264:9264 -d scnewma/nest_exporter --nest.token=[TOKEN]

⁠Credit

The idea for how to structure/build the project and accept flags for running the exporter came from reviewing node_exporter⁠.

There is already a nest exporter⁠ available. I borrowed the metrics port from that exporter. I wrote a new exporter for learning purposes.
