+# Promgate
+
+Promgate is a pure go-stdlib mutal tls reverse proxy to merge multiple prometheus exporters together.
+
+All exporters are are queried in parallel and appendend line wise. The goal is to transmit the metrics, not to keep the help texts.
+
+It's configured entirely using environment variables. You may scream for flags, but i happen like Systemd's environment files.
+
+Usage:
+
+```
+CA=ca.pem \
+CRL=crl.pem \
+CERT=cert.pem \
+KEY=key.pem \
+URLS=http://localhost:9100/metrics,http://localhost:9101 \
+go run promgate.go
+```
+
+**Note**: you have to supply all of these options.
+
+`URLS` is a single URL or a list of comma sperated urls. The scheme (i.e. http://) is required.
