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

## Textfile Collector
 | 
			
		||||
### Textfile Collector
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The textfile collector is similar to the [Pushgateway](https://github.com/prometheus/pushgateway),
 | 
			
		||||
in that it allows exporting of statistics from batch jobs. It can also be used
