Can multiple Prometheus exporters use same port

[kiran]

Hello all

Looks like each Prometheus exporter exposes metrics on its own port by default(https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/wiki/Default-port-allocations ) 

In comparison, netdata exposes everything on a single port. Is it possible to have multiple Prometheus exporters expose metrics on single port rather than on separate ports? My use case is such that we need to install exporters on clients’ machines(we don’t have any control on proxy if at all any on their side) and want to wok with single port.

You can install exporter_exporter, which in turn proxies to the other exporters.  It also has options for enabling TLS, and for authentication.
