+# Simple Metrics Generator
+
+Simple Prometheus metrics generator.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+cat metadata | generate_metrics tempurature 50
+```
+
+with your metadata file looking something like
+
+```
+unit="F", computer="computer5"
+```
+
+---
+
+From here you could then redirect stdout into a file, then host the file with something like Caddy for Prometheus to scrape.
