## Collectors
2015-02-09 21:41:51 +00:00
2016-01-21 23:09:24 +00:00
There is varying support for collectors on each operating system. The tables
below list all existing collectors and the supported systems.
2015-02-09 10:41:04 +00:00
2015-02-18 17:15:57 +00:00
Which collectors are used is controlled by the `--collectors.enabled` flag.

arp | Exposes ARP statistics from `/proc/net/arp` . | Linux
Add bcache collector (#597)
* Add bcache collector for Linux
This collector gathers metrics related to the Linux block cache
(bcache) from sysfs.
* Removed commented out code
* Use project comment style
* Add _sectors to metric name to indicate unit
* Really use project comment style
* Rename bcache.go to bcache_linux.go
* Keep collector namespace clean
Rename:
- metric -> bcacheMetric
- periodStatsToMetrics -> bcachePeriodStatsToMetric
* Shorten slice initialization
* Change label names to backing_device, cache_device
* Remove five minute metrics (keep only total)
* Include units in additional metric names
* Enable bcache collector by default
* Provide metrics in seconds, not nanoseconds
* remove metrics with label "all"
* Add fixtures, update end-to-end for bcache collector
* Move fixtures/sys into tar.gz
This changeset moves the collector/fixtures/sys directory into
collector/fixtures/sys.tar.gz and tweaks the Makefile to unpack the
tarball before tests are run.
The reason for this change is that Windows does not allow colons in a
path (colons are present in some of the bcache fixture files), nor can
it (out of the box) deal with pathnames longer than 260 characters
(which we would be increasingly likely to hit if we tried to replace
colons with longer codes that are guaranteed not the turn up in regular
file names).
* Add ttar: plain text archive, replacement for tar
This changeset adds ttar, a plain text replacement for tar, and uses it
for the sysfs fixture archive. The syntax is loosely based on tar(1).
Using a plain text archive makes it possible to review changes without
downloading and extracting the archive. Also, when working on the repo,
git diff and git log become useful again, allowing a committer to verify
and track changes over time.
The code is written in bash, because bash is available out of the box on
all major flavors of Linux and on macOS. The feature set used is
restricted to bash version 3.2 because that is what Apple is still
shipping.
The programm also works on Windows if bash is installed. Obviously, it
does not solve the Windows limitations (path length limited to 260
characters, no symbolic links) that prompted the move to an archive
format in the first place.

### Textfile Collector
2015-02-09 10:41:04 +00:00
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.
2015-03-21 10:27:43 +00:00
To use it, set the `--collector.textfile.directory` flag on the Node exporter. The
2015-02-18 17:15:57 +00:00
collector will parse all files in that directory matching the glob `*.prom`
using the [text
format](http://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats/).
2015-02-09 10:41:04 +00:00
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
```

## Using Docker
2016-12-19 12:28:02 +00:00
The node\_exporter is designed to monitor the host system. It's not recommended
to deploy it as Docker container because it requires access to the host system.
If you need to run it on Docker, you can deploy this exporter using the
[node-exporter Docker
image](https://quay.io/repository/prometheus/node-exporter) with the following
options and bind-mounts:
2015-06-07 15:59:17 +00:00
```bash
2016-12-19 12:28:02 +00:00
docker run -d -p 9100:9100 \
2017-06-08 16:21:44 +00:00
-v "/proc:/host/proc:ro" \
-v "/sys:/host/sys:ro" \
-v "/:/rootfs:ro" \
2016-12-19 12:28:02 +00:00
--net="host" \
quay.io/prometheus/node-exporter \
2017-08-12 13:07:24 +00:00
--collector.procfs /host/proc \
--collector.sysfs /host/sys \
--collector.filesystem.ignored-mount-points "^/(sys|proc|dev|host|etc)($|/)"
2015-06-07 15:59:17 +00:00
```
2016-01-24 22:38:06 +00:00
2016-12-19 12:28:02 +00:00
Be aware though that the mountpoint label in various metrics will now have
2017-07-28 07:06:28 +00:00
`/rootfs` as prefix.
2016-01-24 22:38:06 +00:00
2017-04-19 16:54:15 +00:00
## Using a third-party repository for RHEL/CentOS/Fedora
There is a [community-supplied COPR repository ](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ibotty/prometheus-exporters/ ). It closely follows upstream releases.
