  Description     : Prometheus  Exporter for systemd unit metrics

Prometheus exporter for systemd units, written in Go.

Systemd groups processes, threads, and other resources (PIDs, memory,
etc) into logical containers called units. Systemd-exporter will read
the 11 different types of systemd units (e.g. service, slice, etc) and
give you metrics about the health and resource consumption of each
unit. This allows an application specific view of your system,
allowing you to determine resource usage of an application such as
mysql.service independently from the resources used by other processes
on your system.

----

This overlaps with the already packaged prometheus-node-exporter, but
the node exporter doesn't export per-unit statistics. You can get
global memory usage, but not per application memory usage, for
example. The is *some* overlap with the node exporter because they
both export *some* per unit stats (namely the number of restarts, for
example).

The upstream README also compares this with the
prometheus-process-exporter (also packaged). The process exporter
targets processes, not unit, and needs to be configured to target
specific processes, by name, which is somewhat error-prone.

This could be packaged under the golang team, I suppose.
