# Install Node-exporter
|
|
|
|
You'll need to install node exporter for monitoring
|
|
|
|
1. Download Node Exporter
|
|
As first step, you need to download the Node Exporter binary which is available for Linux in the official Prometheus website here. In the website, you will find a table with the list of available builds. Of our interest in this case, is the node_exporter build for Linux AMD64:
|
|
|
|
Node Exporter Ubuntu Linux
|
|
|
|
In this case the latest available version is the 1.7.0. Copy the .tar.gz URL and download it somewhere in your server using wget or cURL:
|
|
|
|
`wget https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/releases/download/v1.7.0/node_exporter-1.7.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz`
|
|
|
|
2. Extract Node Exporter and move binary
|
|
After downloading the latest version of Node Exporter, proceed to extract the content of the downloaded tar using the following command:
|
|
|
|
`tar xvf node_exporter-1.7.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz`
|
|
The content of the zip will be extracted in the current directory, the extracted directory will contain 3 files:
|
|
|
|
LICENSE (license text file)
|
|
node_exporter (binary)
|
|
NOTICE (license text file)
|
|
You only need to move the binary file node_exporter to the /usr/local/bin directory of your system. Switch to the node_exporter directory:
|
|
|
|
`cd node_exporter-1.7.0.linux-amd64`
|
|
And then copy the binary file with the following command:
|
|
|
|
`sudo cp node_exporter /usr/local/bin`
|
|
Then you can remove the directory that we created after extracting the zip file content:
|
|
|
|
# Exit current directory
|
|
`cd ..`
|
|
|
|
# Remove the extracted directory
|
|
`rm -rf ./node_exporter-1.7.0.linux-amd64`
|
|
3. Create Node Exporter User
|
|
As a good practice, create an user in the system for Node Exporter:
|
|
|
|
`sudo useradd --no-create-home --shell /bin/false node_exporter`
|
|
And set the owner of the binary node_exporter to the recently created user:
|
|
|
|
`sudo chown node_exporter:node_exporter /usr/local/bin/node_exporter`
|
|
4. Create and start the Node Exporter service
|
|
The Node Exporter service should always start when the server boots so it will always be available to be scrapped for information. Create the node_exporter.service file with nano:
|
|
|
|
`sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/node_exporter.service`
|
|
And paste the following content in the file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[Unit]
|
|
Description=Node Exporter
|
|
Wants=network-online.target
|
|
After=network-online.target
|
|
|
|
[Service]
|
|
User=node_exporter
|
|
Group=node_exporter
|
|
Type=simple
|
|
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/node_exporter
|
|
Restart=always
|
|
RestartSec=3
|
|
|
|
[Install]
|
|
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Close nano and save the changes to the file. Proceed to reload the daemon with:
|
|
|
|
`sudo systemctl daemon-reload`
|
|
And finally enable the node_exporter service with the following command:
|
|
|
|
`sudo systemctl enable node_exporter`
|
|
And then start the service:
|
|
|
|
`sudo systemctl start node_exporter`
|
|
|
|
`sudo ufw allow 9090`
|
|
`sudo ufw allow 9100`
|
|
|
|
now go to `http://localhost:9100/metrics`
|
|
|
|
# Install query exporter
|
|
|
|
Query-exporter is started in indexer's docker.
|
|
|
|
To allow viewing it on local network:
|
|
|
|
`cd exporters`
|
|
|
|
`sudo ufw allow 9560`
|
|
|
|
# Install smartmon
|
|
|
|
`sudo apt install prometheus-node-exporter-collectors smartmontools`
|
|
|
|
Check if your SSD is compatible (your device name may differ, mine is /dev/sda)
|
|
`sudo smartctl -i /dev/sda`
|
|
|
|
Enable SMART on your SSD
|
|
`sudo smartctl -s on /dev/sda`
|
|
|
|
`sudo systemctl restart node_exporter`
|
|
|
|
`systemctl start prometheus-node-exporter-smartmon.service` |
