|
|
Prometheus exporter for hardware and OS metrics exposed by \*NIX kernels, written
|
|
in Go with pluggable metric collectors.
|
|
|
|
The [WMI exporter](https://github.com/martinlindhe/wmi_exporter) is recommended for Windows users.
|
|
|
|
## Collectors
|
|
|
|
There is varying support for collectors on each operating system. The tables
|
|
below list all existing collectors and the supported systems.
|
|
|
|
Collectors are enabled by providing a `--collector.<name>` flag.
|
|
Collectors that are enabled by default can be disabled by providing a `--no-collector.<name>` flag.
|
|
|

### 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
|
|
to export static metrics, such as what role a machine has. The Pushgateway
|
|
should be used for service-level metrics. The textfile module is for metrics
|
|
that are tied to a machine.
|
|
|
|
To use it, set the `--collector.textfile.directory` flag on the Node exporter. The
|
|
collector will parse all files in that directory matching the glob `*.prom`
|
|
using the [text
|
|
format](http://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats/).
|
|
|
|
To atomically push completion time for a cron job:
|
|
```
|
|
echo my_batch_job_completion_time $(date +%s) > /path/to/directory/my_batch_job.prom.$$
|
|
mv /path/to/directory/my_batch_job.prom.$$ /path/to/directory/my_batch_job.prom
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To statically set roles for a machine using labels:
|
|
```
|
|
echo 'role{role="application_server"} 1' > /path/to/directory/role.prom.$$
|
|
mv /path/to/directory/role.prom.$$ /path/to/directory/role.prom
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Filtering enabled collectors
|
|
|
|
The `node_exporter` will expose all metrics from enabled collectors by default. This is the recommended way to collect metrics to avoid errors when comparing metrics of different families.
|
|
|
|
For advanced use the `node_exporter` can be passed an optional list of collectors to filter metrics. The `collect[]` parameter may be used multiple times. In Prometheus configuration you can use this syntax under the [scrape config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#<scrape_config>).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
params:
|
|
collect[]:
|
|
- foo
|
|
- bar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This can be useful for having different Prometheus servers collect specific metrics from nodes.

|
## Building and running
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites:
|
|
|
|
* [Go compiler](https://golang.org/dl/)
|
|
* RHEL/CentOS: `glibc-static` package.
|
|
|
|
Building:
|
|
|
|
go get github.com/prometheus/node_exporter
|
|
cd ${GOPATH-$HOME/go}/src/github.com/prometheus/node_exporter
|
|
make
|
|
./node_exporter <flags>
|
|
|
|
To see all available configuration flags:
|
|
|
|
./node_exporter -h
|
|
|
|
## Running tests
|
|
|
|
make test
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Using Docker
|
|
The node\_exporter is designed to monitor the host system. It's not recommended
|
|
to deploy it as Docker container because it requires access to the host system.
|
|
Be aware that any non-root mount points you want to monitor will need bind-mounted
|
|
into the container.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -d \
|
|
--net="host" \
|
|
--pid="host" \
|
|
quay.io/prometheus/node-exporter
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Using a third-party repository for RHEL/CentOS/Fedora
|
|
|
|
There is a [community-supplied COPR repository](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ibotty/prometheus-exporters/). It closely follows upstream releases.
