training-exercise-exporter

This exporter provides two metrics that can be scraped by Prometheus:

• The current temperature in Boston, MA (in Celsius)
• The number of times it has scraped the NWS API since it was started.

This was written as reference code to accompany a presentation on how to write an exporter for Prometheus.
