@alertedsnake Any updates for this ? Gentle ping :)

Not really - I spent a lot of time working on the bugs that prevented me from using this stuff for real, and then just ran out of time. I do have a branch where I started working on it, but I'm not sure I'm going to continue - my company has been shifting towards Prometheus, so I think that exporter is going to handle our use-case once we get to using this in production.

Here's the branch if someone wants to take over:
