Kannel Exporter

Kannel exporter for Prometheus. Exposes metrics collected from the kannel status page.

Works with Kannel 1.4.4 or greater.

⚠️ Consider disabling smsc metrics collection by using the --filter-smscs flag or by dropping metrics on Prometheus server. On big setups, high cardinality metrics will be produced.
