# Script Name: n8n-exporter.sh
# Version: 1.0
# Description: Prometheus exporter for n8n workflow automation — pulls built-in
# /metrics data and supplements with API-sourced per-workflow info,
# execution stats, credential counts, and health checks. Designed
# for node_exporter textfile collector.
#
# Author: Phil Connor
# Contact: contact@mylinux.work
# Website: https://mylinux.work
# License: MIT
#
# Prerequisites:
# - n8n with N8N_METRICS=true (for /metrics endpoint)
# - curl and jq
# - n8n API key (for supplemental metrics — optional)
# - netcat (nc) for HTTP mode
#
# Usage:
# ./n8n-exporter.sh # stdout
# ./n8n-exporter.sh --textfile # node_exporter textfile
# ./n8n-exporter.sh --http -p 9200 # HTTP server
# ./n8n-exporter.sh --url http://n8n:5678 --api-key KEY

Usage: $0 [OPTIONS]
Export n8n metrics as Prometheus metrics (v1.0).
MODES:
--textfile Write to node_exporter textfile collector
--http Run HTTP server on port $HTTP_PORT
OPTIONS:
-p, --port HTTP port (default: 9200)
-o, --output Output file path
--url URL n8n base URL (default: $N8N_URL)
--api-key KEY n8n API key (for supplemental metrics)
EXAMPLES:
$0 --textfile # Write to textfile collector
$0 --http --port 9200 # Run HTTP server
$0 --url http://n8n:5678 --api-key KEY # Custom URL with API key
$0 -o /tmp/n8n.prom # Write to custom file
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES:
N8N_URL n8n base URL (default: http://localhost:5678)
N8N_API_KEY n8n API key for supplemental metrics
