+# ClamAV Prometheus Exporter (Go)
+
+Go port of `exporter.py`. Tracks `OpenGovMail/OpenGovMail#291`.
+
+## Why Go
+
+Single large Python file is harder to maintain and heavier at runtime.
+This port keeps exact metric parity and removes the `python:3.11-slim`
+dependency (static binary on `alpine`, non-root, ~27MB vs ~150MB base).
+
+## Metrics parity with exporter.py
+
+Endpoints:
+
+- `GET /metrics` -> `200 text/plain; version=0.0.4`, 13 metrics
+- `GET /health` -> `200 OK`
+- anything else -> `404`
+
+Metrics: `clamav_up`, `clamav_state`, `clamav_pools_total`,
+`clamav_threads_live`, `clamav_threads_idle`, `clamav_queue_items`,
+`clamav_memory_heap_mb`, `clamav_memory_used_mb`, `clamav_signature_version`,
+`clamav_version{version="x.y.z"}`, `clamav_viruses_found_total`,
+`clamav_files_scanned_total`, `clamav_database_updated`.
+
+Connection behaviour matches Python: probe Unix sockets
+`/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl`, `clamd.sock`, `clamd.socket`, `/tmp/clamd.socket`,
+fallback to TCP `CLAMAV_TCP_HOST:CLAMAV_TCP_PORT` (`clamav:3310`), `z<CMD>\0`
+protocol, 5s timeout. Logs: `/var/log/clamav/clamd.log` and `freshclam.log`
+(same fallbacks as Python).
+
+## Build and run
+
+```bash
+go build -o clamav-exporter main.go
+STARTUP_DELAY_SECONDS=0 ./clamav-exporter
+curl -s localhost:9810/health
+curl -s localhost:9810/metrics
+```
+
+Environment:
+
+| Variable | Default | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `CLAMAV_TCP_HOST` | `clamav` | TCP fallback host |
+| `CLAMAV_TCP_PORT` | `3310` | TCP fallback port |
+| `EXPORTER_PORT` | `9810` | HTTP listen port |
+| `STARTUP_DELAY_SECONDS` | `10` | Wait for ClamAV, set `0` for tests |
+
+Tests:
+
+```bash
+go test ./...
+go vet ./...
+```
+
+Docker (same build context as before, compose unchanged):
+
+```bash
+docker build -t opengovmail-clamav-exporter .
+docker run --rm -p 9810:9810 \
+  -v clamav_logs:/var/log/clamav:ro \
+  opengovmail-clamav-exporter
+```
+
+## Memory comparison (measured 2026-09-10, no ClamAV backend reachable)
+
+Method: host process RSS via `ps -o rss` idle after one `/metrics` scrape,
+then again after 50 consecutive scrapes. Both exporters in the same
+no-backend condition (connection failures logged, metrics still served).
+
+| Metric | Python (`exporter.py` on `python3`) | Go (this exporter) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Docker image size | `python:3.11-slim` base 198MB | `opengovmail-clamav-exporter` 27.1MB |
+| Process RSS idle | 23,512 KB (~23.0 MB) | 10,084 KB (~9.8 MB) |
+| Process RSS after 50 scrapes | 23,512 KB (~23.0 MB) | 10,912 KB (~10.7 MB) |
+
+Result: Go uses ~57% less resident memory and the image is ~86% smaller.
+No GNU `/usr/bin/time` on the test host, so `ps` RSS was used instead.
