support for ssl_exporter

[jamesalbert]

Hi there 👋🏻

In an effort to keep it short 😄 I would find it useful for grafana-agent to support ssl_exporter. Following contributing.md, I'm posting here to see if that's something the maintainers are okay with and if that's the case to claim that contribution. Let me know!

Hi, I think this would be great! Exporters that follow the probe pattern are a little more awkward to create integrations for, but we've recently merged the snmp_exporter integration which could serve as a reference implementation since it also uses the probe pattern.

Please let us know if you try implementing this and need help! @mattdurham would have the most knowledge about what to do here for these types of integrations.

Absolutely go for it. The snmp_exporter would be the best place to start, we are switching to a new way of handling exporters and if I was in your shoes I would target that one first. Feel free to jump into the community channel https://slack.grafana.com/ #agent , I am @mattd there
