monitor multiple sftp servers

[psable]

Hello
Thank you for your work
Do you think it would be possible to upgrade the sftp-exporter to give it a list of several SFTP servers to monitor?
Thanks

Hi @psable . You could have multiple sftp-exporter deployments

Contemplating this idea. There is a Multi-target Exporter Pattern that can be implemented to collect metrics from multiple SFTP servers https://prometheus.io/docs/guides/multi-target-exporter/

Multi-target sftp-exporter would be useful in our case as well. For now, we'll just use multiple deployments, however, I imagine this will become quite cumbersome if we have the need to monitor many stfp targets in the future.
