To install this mixin, use ksonnet:

$ ks registry add vault_exporter https://github.com/grapeshot/vault_exporter
$ ks pkg install vault_exporter/vault-mixin

Then to use, in your main.jsonnet file:

local prometheus = (import "prometheus-ksonnet/prometheus-ksonnet.libsonnet");
local vault = (import "vault-mixin/mixin.libsonnet");

prometheus + vault {
  jobs+: {
    vault: "<my vault namespace>/<my value name label>",
  },
}
