# BIRD Exporter
Prometheus exporter for BIRD routing daemon.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Build
make build
# Test
make test
# Create Debian package
make pkg-deb
# Install package
sudo dpkg -i ../bird-exporter_*.deb
```
## Configuration
The Debian package installs a systemd service that reads configuration from `/etc/default/bird-exporter`:
```bash
# Edit service configuration
sudo nano /etc/default/bird-exporter
# Start service
sudo systemctl start bird-exporter
```
Default configuration:
```
BIRD_EXPORTER_ARGS="-web.listen-address=:9324 -period=60s -bird.socket=/var/run/bird/bird.ctl"
```
The service runs as the `bird` user and group.
