Description

I have some use cases to write open metrics format text files with exemplars and use node exporter to collect them.
It seems that currently only Text format is supported. Is there any plan to add openmetrics format support?

Start by locating the text file collector and reviewing how it currently handles the text format. Investigate the project's existing metric parsing and exposition-format support, then define what OpenMetrics files with exemplars must accept and how collection should verify them.
