One to read: “Prometheus: Embracing the Exporter Life – YetiOps”
I’ve been looking at mapping out my network for a while, to try to understand where latency and instability was coming from. This post encourages me to take another look at the issue from, perhaps, another angle. Thanks for the info Stuart!
Good find.
Once i went digging to find the actual exporters it made more sense. https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter
though adding more agents to each node is a pain.
I find if you have some form of automation/config management (I’m currently using Ansible and Salt at home for this) then once you have settled on what you’re using, it’s quite straight forward.
However the processing of building up from just a couple of node_exporters to every application does take quite some time….
Thank you! I’m glad you found it useful. It’s changed how I’ve viewed monitoring for the better.
