Not that I'm aware of, I use two techniques:

1) a textfile-collector script that scans a folder and outputs timestamps. see 
https://github.com/prometheus-community/node-exporter-textfile-collector-scripts

2) Some tools run from cron can output Prometheus metrics also for the textfile 
exporter - for example, I run the borg_exporter script automatically from 
borgmatic: https://github.com/teemow/prometheus-borg-exporter
