This small setup was created to simulate and show the exporter in action. I have created an environment with multiple containers communicating via wireguard VPN. The setup includes Prometheus and Grafana configured to showcase the metrics. To start setup clone the project and go to the project directory.

Make sure docker, docker-compose, and make utility are installed. Run the following command to create a setup

Run the project in a local setup
