Can we have this reopened? At most it'd be great to have the make config file for the collectd updated to simply enable the output, write_prometheus requires at most a few seconds of effort. This will allow advanced users to be able to update the collectd config file to manually enable this without having to go through the effort of manually compiling and transferring over the plugin. If we have spare cycles the native approach would be to, as described in the initial Jira description add a UI option to enable or disable prometheus as a checkbox or toggle.

After some discussions we decided to close this until there are any more requests. It is difficult to support all possible rare functionality. We may reconsider it if more people ask for it. There is a voting mechanism for this in the buck tracker.

An easy way to integrate FreeNAS's collectd with prometheus could be to enable the
write_prometheus
plugin.The documentation of that plugin can be found at https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin:Write_Prometheus
I imagine the UI could be as simple as a checkbox. Checking the box would expose a TCP port with access to metrics data.
On the prometheus side, a scrape_configs entry would poll the metrics.
