collectors. collectors.
## Building and running ## Collectors
make There is varying support for collectors on each operating system. The tables
./node_exporter <flags> below list all existing collectors and the supported systems.
## Running tests
make test
## Available collectors
By default the build will include the native collectors that expose information
from `/proc`.
Which collectors are used is controlled by the `--collectors.enabled` flag. Which collectors are used is controlled by the `--collectors.enabled` flag.
