Prometheus

To use the Starlink Prometheus Exporter, you need to configure Prometheus to scrape from the exporter:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: "starlink"
    scrape_interval: 3s # This can be whatever you would like.
    static_configs:
      - targets: [ "localhost:9451" ]

Change scrape_interval and the address to match your setup.
