In the current Release, the Metrics-Port is hardwired to 9100. This port is mainly used for the Node-Exporter.
Please make the Metrics-Port configurable.

What would a typical alt port be for an application serving the metrics?

Each exporter have ist own default port. Important when multiple exporters are running

Then yeah sounds like it’d be a good idea to make configurable
