## How to scrape Prometheus exporters such as [node-exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter)
VictoriaMetrics can be used as drop-in replacement for Prometheus for scraping targets configured in `prometheus.yml` config file according to [the specification](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#configuration-file). Just set `-promscrape.config` command-line flag to the path to `prometheus.yml` config - and VictoriaMetrics should start scraping the configured targets. If the provided configuration file contains [unsupported options](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#unsupported-prometheus-config-sections), then either delete them from the file or just pass `-promscrape.config.strictParse=false` command-line flag to VictoriaMetrics, so it will ignore unsupported options.
