# shell exporter
Shell scripts can now query Netdata:
```sh
eval "$(curl -s 'http://localhost:19999/api/v1/allmetrics')"
```
after this command, all the Netdata metrics are exposed to shell. Check:
```sh
# source the metrics
eval "$(curl -s 'http://localhost:19999/api/v1/allmetrics')"
# let's see if there are variables exposed by Netdata for system.cpu
set | grep "^NETDATA_SYSTEM_CPU"
NETDATA_SYSTEM_CPU_GUEST=0
NETDATA_SYSTEM_CPU_GUEST_NICE=0
NETDATA_SYSTEM_CPU_IDLE=95
NETDATA_SYSTEM_CPU_IOWAIT=0
NETDATA_SYSTEM_CPU_IRQ=0
NETDATA_SYSTEM_CPU_NICE=0
NETDATA_SYSTEM_CPU_SOFTIRQ=0
NETDATA_SYSTEM_CPU_STEAL=0
NETDATA_SYSTEM_CPU_SYSTEM=1
NETDATA_SYSTEM_CPU_USER=4
NETDATA_SYSTEM_CPU_VISIBLETOTAL=5
# let's see the total cpu utilization of the system
echo ${NETDATA_SYSTEM_CPU_VISIBLETOTAL}
5
# what about alarms?
set | grep "^NETDATA_ALARM_SYSTEM_SWAP_"
NETDATA_ALARM_SYSTEM_SWAP_RAM_IN_SWAP_STATUS=CRITICAL
NETDATA_ALARM_SYSTEM_SWAP_RAM_IN_SWAP_VALUE=53
NETDATA_ALARM_SYSTEM_SWAP_USED_SWAP_STATUS=CLEAR
NETDATA_ALARM_SYSTEM_SWAP_USED_SWAP_VALUE=51
# let's get the current status of the alarm 'ram in swap'
echo ${NETDATA_ALARM_SYSTEM_SWAP_RAM_IN_SWAP_STATUS}
CRITICAL
# is it fast?
time curl -s 'http://localhost:19999/api/v1/allmetrics' >/dev/null
real 0m0,070s
user 0m0,000s
sys 0m0,007s
# it is...
# 0.07 seconds for curl to be loaded, connect to Netdata and fetch the response back...
```
The `_VISIBLETOTAL` variable sums up all the dimensions of each chart.
The format of the variables is:
```sh
NETDATA_${chart_id^^}_${dimension_id^^}="${value}"
```
The value is rounded to the closest integer, since shell script cannot process decimal numbers.
