# node_exporter

Prometheus exporter with pluggable metric collectors.


## Available collectors

By default the build will only include the native collectors
that expose information from /proc.

To include other collectors, specify the build tags lile this:

    go build -tags 'ganglia runit' node_exporter.go


Which collectors are used is controlled by the --enabledCollectors flag.

### NativeCollector

Provides metrics for load, seconds since last login and a list of tags
read from `node_exporter.conf`.


### GmondCollector (tag: ganglia)

Talks to a local gmond and provide it's metrics.


### RunitCollector (tag: runit)

Provides metrics for each runit services like state and how long it
has been in that state.
Add support for selecting collectors at buildtime This works by using a global array with references to NewXCollector functions. Each collector appends to that array in it's init() function. Which file gets build depends on the build tags: To build only the ganglia exporter, you can do: go build -tags nonative,ganglia By default it will build only the native collector. 2014-02-07 16:09:39 +00:00			`# node_exporter`

Split native collector into it's component parts and make them enablable. Last login is disabled by default as it's broken on ubuntu 12.04 Interrupts is disabled by default as it's very granular and we'll have total interrupts from /proc/stat Allow ignoring devices from diskstats, ignore ram and loop devices by default. Use glog for logging. 2014-06-04 11:12:34 +00:00			`Prometheus exporter with pluggable metric collectors.`
