Description

You recently published a docker based prometheus metric exporter tool using a dockerized php application.

While it works, I believe it would be much better if the manticore search daemon could be configured to enable prometheus metrics on port 9100 or similar.

The reasoning is that such solution wouldn't require an additional component to make the monitoring work, and the less moving parts would align better with the keep it simple philosophy.

Optionally it would be nice to have a whitelist of ip address(es) in the config file for the prometheus nodes to restrict access to the metrics url, eg.
`prometheus_hosts = 1.2.3.4/32,10.0.0.0/24` or something like that.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. First clarify the daemon configuration and endpoint design, including whether the optional prometheus_hosts whitelist is in scope; done means native Prometheus metrics are exposed by the daemon without the separate exporter.
