How about we create a proxy_exporter?

[mxlxm]

since almost all of the metrics exposed via http(s), how about we create a proxy_exporter which supports all kinds of service if we want. just wrap the other exporter, and call them via service=xx arg.

here's my previous repo: https://github.com/mxlxm/exporters

The general idea sound like something https://github.com/QubitProducts/exporter_exporter does.

But you also want to include the actual metric extraction from the services into this proxy_exporter? This would create one giant exporter having built-in support for lots of different services?

Yes, with this proxy_exporter we can scrape all kinds of services if we need. And we don't need to care about lots of different exporter's liveness.
