Node-exporter 1.5.0

Description

Node-exporter is a popular open-source tool used for monitoring and collecting system metrics from Linux servers. It provides valuable insights into the performance of a system by collecting a range of metrics such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, network usage, and more. The tool is widely used in DevOps environments to monitor the health of their infrastructure and identify potential issues before they impact the business. Node-exporter is easy to use, highly customizable, and works seamlessly with other monitoring tools. In this article, we will explore the features, use cases, and technical details of Node-exporter.

  • Collects hardware and OS-level metrics from a Node system
  • Supports exporting metrics in various formats, such as Prometheus metrics
  • Provides detailed system information like disk usage, CPU usage, memory usage, and network activity
  • Includes support for exporting metrics over HTTP or HTTPS
  • Supports multiple operating systems, including Linux, macOS, and Windows
  • Has a low overhead on system resources, making it suitable for use on production systems

  • Node Exporter can be used to monitor and collect metrics from individual Node systems in a cluster or data center. This allows administrators to identify and troubleshoot performance issues, track resource utilization, and plan for capacity growth.
  • Node Exporter can be integrated with a monitoring system like Prometheus to provide a comprehensive view of the health and performance of a distributed system. This can help operators to detect and resolve issues quickly, maintain system reliability, and optimize resource allocation.

  1. Install Node Exporter on your system
  2. Configure Node Exporter to collect the desired metrics
  3. Start the Node Exporter service
  4. Use a monitoring system like Prometheus to scrape metrics from the Node Exporter service
  5. Visualize and analyze metrics using monitoring dashboards or other tools

  • Node Exporter is written in Go and runs as a standalone binary on the system
  • The exporter collects metrics from various sources, such as kernel statistics, system calls, and network stack information
  • Node Exporter exposes the collected metrics via an HTTP server, which can be accessed by monitoring systems like Prometheus
  • Metrics are exported in various formats, including plain text, JSON, and Prometheus metrics format
  • Node Exporter supports a wide range of metrics, including system load, disk usage, memory usage, CPU utilization, network activity, and many others
  • Node Exporter is highly configurable, allowing users to select the desired metrics and adjust settings like HTTP port, metrics path, and more.
