covid_exporter

covid_exporter is a TS-Node-based Prometheus exporter providing real-time updates on the spread of COVID-19 in the world. It fetches its data from https://disease.sh/ every 5 minutes, and provide metrics for the following:

• covid_cases_total{type, name}
• covid_active_total{type, name}
• covid_recovered_total{type, name}
• covid_deaths_total{type, name}
• covid_tests_total{type, name}

Where type can be [world, us_state, country]

Inspired by: https://github.com/jessestuart/covid_exporter

And builds on the excellent data-wrangling and responsibly-socially-distanced collaboration that's gone into the disease.sh api project.

Cool. What can I build with it?

• Setup a prometheus to scrape this exporter
• Setup a Grafana instance to show this data Grafana is a great tool for visualizing data.

Now you can save yourself a click to look at World-meter and even send slack alarms when the numbers are crossing certain thresholds.
