Systemd Unit

If you are using distribution packages or the copr repository, you don't need to deal with these files!

The unit file in this directory is to be put into /etc/systemd/system. It needs a user named node_exporter, whose shell should be /sbin/nologin and should not have any special privileges. It needs a sysconfig file in /etc/sysconfig/node_exporter. It needs a directory named /var/lib/node_exporter/textfile_collector, whose owner should be node_exporter:node_exporter. A sample file can be found in sysconfig.node_exporter.
