Node Exporter¶
Overview¶
Node Exporter is a specialized monitoring agent designed for Prometheus that collects and exposes detailed system-level metrics from host machines in Kubernetes environments.
Deployment¶
sb install node-exporter
Usage¶
Node Exporter is installed directly on the host at /opt/node_exporter/node_exporter and runs as a systemd service. It exposes system metrics on port 9100 for Prometheus to scrape. Manage with systemctl status/restart node_exporter.
Note: Metrics are not password-protected by default. Consider firewall rules if exposing port 9100 externally.
