|
|
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/gpu-monitoring-tools#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 [Cloud Alchemy role](https://github.com/cloudalchemy/ansible-node-exporter).
|
|
|
|
### RHEL/CentOS/Fedora
|
|
|
|
There is a [community-supplied COPR repository](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ibotty/prometheus-exporters/) which closely follows upstream releases.
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|

|
### 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 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.
|
|
|
|
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"`.

### 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.

## Development building and running
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites:
|
|
|
|
* [Go compiler](https://golang.org/dl/)
|
|
* RHEL/CentOS: `glibc-static` package.
|
|
|
|
Building:
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter.git
|
|
cd node_exporter
|
|
make
|
|
./node_exporter <flags>
|
|
|
|
To see all available configuration flags:
|
|
|
|
./node_exporter -h
|
|
|
|
## Running tests
|
|
|
|
make test
|
|
|
|
## TLS endpoint
|
|
|
|
** EXPERIMENTAL **
|
|
|
|
The exporter supports TLS via a new web configuration file.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
./node_exporter --web.config=web-config.yml
|
|
```
|
