+Dockcheck can be used together with [Prometheus](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus) and [node_exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter) to export metrics via the file collector, scheduled with cron or likely.
+This is done with the `-c` option, like this:

+## [Prometheus](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus) and [node_exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter)
+Dockcheck is capable to export metrics to prometheus via the text file collector provided by the node_exporter.
+In order to do so the -c flag has to be specified followed by the file path that is configured in the text file collector of the node_exporter.
+A simple cron job can be configured to export these metrics on a regular interval as shown in the sample below:
+
+```
+0 1 * * * /root/dockcheck.sh -n -c /var/lib/node_exporter/textfile_collector
+```
+
+The following metrics are exported to prometheus
+
+```
+# HELP dockcheck_images_analyzed Docker images that have been analyzed
+# TYPE dockcheck_images_analyzed gauge
+dockcheck_images_analyzed 22
+# HELP dockcheck_images_outdated Docker images that are outdated
+# TYPE dockcheck_images_outdated gauge
+dockcheck_images_outdated 7
+# HELP dockcheck_images_latest Docker images that are outdated
+# TYPE dockcheck_images_latest gauge
+dockcheck_images_latest 14
+# HELP dockcheck_images_error Docker images with analysis errors
+# TYPE dockcheck_images_error gauge

+# HELP dockcheck_images_analyze_timestamp_seconds Last dockercheck run time
+# TYPE dockcheck_images_analyze_timestamp_seconds gauge
