MacOS LaunchAgent

If you're installing through a package manager, you probably don't need to deal with this file.

The plist file should be put in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ (user-install) or /Library/LaunchAgents/ (global install), and the binary installed at /usr/local/bin/node_exporter.

Ex. install globally by

sudo cp -n node_exporter /usr/local/bin/
sudo cp -n examples/launchctl/io.prometheus.node_exporter.plist /Library/LaunchAgents/
sudo launchctl bootstrap system/ /Library/LaunchAgents/io.prometheus.node_exporter.plist

# Optionally configure by dropping CLI arguments in a file
echo -- '--web.listen-address=:9101' | sudo tee /usr/local/etc/node_exporter.args

# Check it's running
sudo launchctl list | grep node_exporter

# See full process state
sudo launchctl print system/io.prometheus.node_exporter

# View logs
sudo tail /tmp/node_exporter.log
