If you’re using Grafana Cloud, you can skip all of the steps in this guide by installing the Linux Server Integration, which is designed to help you get up and running in a few commands and clicks.
GRAFANA NODE EXPORTER DASHBOARD HOW TO
To learn how to do this, please see Reducing Prometheus metrics usage with relabeling from the Grafana Cloud docs. To learn more about configuring Node Exporter and toggling its collectors, please see the Node Exporter GitHub repository.īeyond toggling Node Exporter’s settings, you can reduce metrics usage by dropping time series you don’t need to store in Prometheus or Grafana Cloud. Note that depending on its configuration, Node Exporter may collect and publish far more metrics than this default set. To see a list of metrics shipped by default with this exporter, please download a sample metrics scrape here. This exporter publishes roughly 500 Prometheus time series by default. Set up Prometheus alerting rules to alert on your metrics data. Imported Grafana dashboards to visualize your metrics data. Set up a preconfigured and curated set of recording rules to cache frequent queries.
Node Exporter will expose these as Prometheus-style metrics.Ĭonfigured Prometheus to scrape Node Exporter metrics and optionally ship them to Grafana Cloud. Set up and configured Node Exporter to collect Linux system metrics like CPU load and disk I/O. After running through the steps in this quickstart, you will have: The following quickstart provides setup instructions and preconfigured dashboards, alerting rules, and recording rules for Node Exporter.
