MMonit collector for node_exporter

[Paul Chambre]

Hi folks,

I made an MMonit collector for the node_exporter. There was an older one from CommerceTools Gmbh, but that doesn't seem to build against current Prometheus and other fora had said it didn't work with current versions of things (Prometheus, or MMonit, I'm not sure which was the problem). In any case, mine is based on theirs in terms of using the XML status available from MMonit, but then I used examples from the other standard collectors - mainly processes_linux.go - to have it work like the built-in collectors.

The end result has an Apache license over an MIT license. It provides similar data to what's exported from monit summary (monitored processes, their states, and, additionally, their PIDs and uptime).

Wanting to know what the process and likelihood is to get this included in the node_exporter.

Thanks,
Paul
