which will contain the current values eg

# HELP environment_wind_angleApparent environment.wind.angleApparent
# TYPE environment_wind_angleApparent gauge
environment_wind_angleApparent -0.5857853071795862
# HELP environment_wind_speedApparent environment.wind.speedApparent
# TYPE environment_wind_speedApparent gauge
environment_wind_speedApparent 5.34
# HELP navigation_courseOverGroundTrue navigation.courseOverGroundTrue
# TYPE navigation_courseOverGroundTrue gauge
navigation_courseOverGroundTrue 2.8798
# HELP navigation_speedOverGround navigation.s
