Can you create a Prometheus exporter so I can write data to the Prometheus database?

I mainly want to use Grafana to track the incoming and outgoing traffic for each IP address.

TBH I got neither the prerequisite experience with Prometheus nor the abundance of time. So unfortunately I think you'll have to DIY, but I would welcome PRs.

The easiest way to do it yourself is to parse bandwhich --raw output, ideally it would output json or something but the current format is not that bad either, and then map that to Grafana

I have completed the secondary development of bandwhich, implementing a Prometheus exporter-like functionality.

The command execution remains unchanged when no parameters are provided, preserving the original features.
By adding the --enable-metrics flag, Prometheus exporter support is activated,
and the --metrics-port option allows specifying a custom port (default set to 9200).

Example:

./bandwhich --enable-metrics --metrics-port 9300

Finally, Grafana connects to the Prometheus database for visualization.
