|
|
Prometheus exporter for hardware and OS metrics exposed by \*NIX kernels, written
|
|
in Go with pluggable metric collectors.
|
|
|
|
The [Windows exporter](https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter) is recommended for Windows users.
|
|
To expose NVIDIA GPU metrics, [prometheus-dcgm
|
|
](https://github.com/NVIDIA/dcgm-exporter)
|
|
can be used.
|
|
|
|
## Installation and Usage
|
|
|
|
If you are new to Prometheus and `node_exporter` there is a [simple step-by-step guide](https://prometheus.io/docs/guides/node-exporter/).
|
|
|
|
The `node_exporter` listens on HTTP port 9100 by default. See the `--help` output for more options.
|
|
|
|
### Ansible
|
|
|
|
For automated installs with [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/), there is the [Prometheus Community role](https://github.com/prometheus-community/ansible).
|
|
|
|
### Docker
|
|
|
|
The `node_exporter` is designed to monitor the host system. It's not recommended
|
|
to deploy it as a Docker container because it requires access to the host system.
|
|
|
|
For situations where Docker deployment is needed, some extra flags must be used to allow
|
|
the `node_exporter` access to the host namespaces.
|
|
|
|
Be aware that any non-root mount points you want to monitor will need to be bind-mounted
|
|
into the container.
|
|
|
|
If you start container for host monitoring, specify `path.rootfs` argument.
|
|
This argument must match path in bind-mount of host root. The node\_exporter will use
|
|
`path.rootfs` as prefix to access host filesystem.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -d \
|
|
--net="host" \
|
|
--pid="host" \
|
|
-v "/:/host:ro,rslave" \
|
|
quay.io/prometheus/node-exporter:latest \
|
|
--path.rootfs=/host
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For Docker compose, similar flag changes are needed.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
version: '3.8'
|
|
|
|
services:
|
|
node_exporter:
|
|
image: quay.io/prometheus/node-exporter:latest
|
|
container_name: node_exporter
|
|
command:
|
|
- '--path.rootfs=/host'
|
|
network_mode: host
|
|
pid: host
|
|
restart: unless-stopped
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- '/:/host:ro,rslave'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On some systems, the `timex` collector requires an additional Docker flag,
|
|
`--cap-add=SYS_TIME`, in order to access the required syscalls.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
To enable only some specific collector(s), use `--collector.disable-defaults --collector.<name> ...`.
|
|
|
|
### Include & Exclude flags
|
|
|
|
A few collectors can be configured to include or exclude certain patterns using dedicated flags. The exclude flags are used to indicate "all except", while the include flags are used to say "none except". Note that these flags are mutually exclusive on collectors that support both.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```txt
|
|
--collector.filesystem.mount-points-exclude=^/(dev|proc|sys|var/lib/docker/.+|var/lib/kubelet/.+)($|/)
|
|
```

### Disabled by default
|
|
|
|
`node_exporter` also implements a number of collectors that are disabled by default. Reasons for this vary by
|
|
collector, and may include:
|
|
* High cardinality
|
|
* Prolonged runtime that exceeds the Prometheus `scrape_interval` or `scrape_timeout`
|
|
* Significant resource demands on the host
|
|
|
|
You can enable additional collectors as desired by adding them to your
|
|
init system's or service supervisor's startup configuration for
|
|
`node_exporter` but caution is advised. Enable at most one at a time,
|
|
testing first on a non-production system, then by hand on a single
|
|
production node. When enabling additional collectors, you should
|
|
carefully monitor the change by observing the `
|
|
scrape_duration_seconds` metric to ensure that collection completes
|
|
and does not time out. In addition, monitor the
|
|
`scrape_samples_post_metric_relabeling` metric to see the changes in
|
|
cardinality.

|
### Perf Collector
|
|
|
|
The `perf` collector may not work out of the box on some Linux systems due to kernel
|
|
configuration and security settings. To allow access, set the following `sysctl`
|
|
parameter:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sysctl -w kernel.perf_event_paranoid=X
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- 2 allow only user-space measurements (default since Linux 4.6).
|
|
- 1 allow both kernel and user measurements (default before Linux 4.6).
|
|
- 0 allow access to CPU-specific data but not raw tracepoint samples.
|
|
- -1 no restrictions.
|
|
|
|
Depending on the configured value different metrics will be available, for most
|
|
cases `0` will provide the most complete set. For more information see [`man 2
|
|
perf_event_open`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/perf_event_open.2.html).
|
|
|
|
By default, the `perf` collector will only collect metrics of the CPUs that
|
|
`node_exporter` is running on (ie
|
|
[`runtime.NumCPU`](https://golang.org/pkg/runtime/#NumCPU). If this is
|
|
insufficient (e.g. if you run `node_exporter` with its CPU affinity set to
|
|
specific CPUs), you can specify a list of alternate CPUs by using the
|
|
`--collector.perf.cpus` flag. For example, to collect metrics on CPUs 2-6, you
|
|
would specify: `--collector.perf --collector.perf.cpus=2-6`. The CPU
|
|
configuration is zero indexed and can also take a stride value; e.g.
|
|
`--collector.perf --collector.perf.cpus=1-10:5` would collect on CPUs
|
|
1, 5, and 10.
|
|
|
|
The `perf` collector is also able to collect
|
|
[tracepoint](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/core-api/tracepoint.html)
|
|
counts when using the `--collector.perf.tracepoint` flag. Tracepoints can be
|
|
found using [`perf list`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/perf.1.html) or
|
|
from debugfs. And example usage of this would be
|
|
`--collector.perf.tracepoint="sched:sched_process_exec"`.
|
|
|
|
### Sysctl Collector
|
|
|
|
The `sysctl` collector can be enabled with `--collector.sysctl`. It supports exposing numeric sysctl values
|
|
as metrics using the `--collector.sysctl.include` flag and string values as info metrics by using the
|
|
`--collector.sysctl.include-info` flag. The flags can be repeated. For sysctl with multiple numeric values,
|
|
an optional mapping can be given to expose each value as its own metric. Otherwise an `index` label is used
|
|
to identify the different fields.
|
|
|
|
#### Examples
|
|
##### Numeric values
|
|
###### Single values
|
|
Using `--collector.sysctl.include=vm.user_reserve_kbytes`:
|
|
`vm.user_reserve_kbytes = 131072` -> `node_sysctl_vm_user_reserve_kbytes 131072`
|
|
|
|
###### Multiple values
|
|
A sysctl can contain multiple values, for example:
|
|
```
|
|
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 131072 6291456
|
|
```
|
|
Using `--collector.sysctl.include=net.ipv4.tcp_rmem` the collector will expose:
|
|
```
|
|
node_sysctl_net_ipv4_tcp_rmem{index="0"} 4096
|
|
node_sysctl_net_ipv4_tcp_rmem{index="1"} 131072
|
|
node_sysctl_net_ipv4_tcp_rmem{index="2"} 6291456
|
|
```
|
|
If the indexes have defined meaning like in this case, the values can be mapped to multiple metrics by appending the mapping to the --collector.sysctl.include flag:
|
|
Using `--collector.sysctl.include=net.ipv4.tcp_rmem:min,default,max` the collector will expose:
|
|
```
|
|
node_sysctl_net_ipv4_tcp_rmem_min 4096
|
|
node_sysctl_net_ipv4_tcp_rmem_default 131072
|
|
node_sysctl_net_ipv4_tcp_rmem_max 6291456
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### String values
|
|
String values need to be exposed as info metric. The user selects them by using the `--collector.sysctl.include-info` flag.
|
|
|
|
###### Single values
|
|
`kernel.core_pattern = core` -> `node_sysctl_info{key="kernel.core_pattern_info", value="core"} 1`
|
|
|
|
###### Multiple values
|
|
Given the following sysctl:
|
|
```
|
|
kernel.seccomp.actions_avail = kill_process kill_thread trap errno trace log allow
|
|
```
|
|
Setting `--collector.sysctl.include-info=kernel.seccomp.actions_avail` will yield:
|
|
```
|
|
node_sysctl_info{key="kernel.seccomp.actions_avail", index="0", value="kill_process"} 1
|
|
node_sysctl_info{key="kernel.seccomp.actions_avail", index="1", value="kill_thread"} 1
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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` commandline. The
|
|
collector will parse all files in that directory matching the glob `*.prom`
|
|
using the [text
|
|
format](http://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats/). **Note:** Timestamps are not supported.
|
|
|
|
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.
