rc-node_exporter

This currently supports Linux systems that use Systemd

The Ansible code will download the node_exporter release archive, extract and copy the node_exporter binary to /usr/local/bin, create the node_exporter system user, followed by setting up the Systemd unit file and starting it.

The code doesn't currently do anything to open the {{ node_exporter_port }} on the host firewall.

Running the Code

• Run it on the local host

ansible-playbook -c local -i 'localhost,' node_exporter.yml

• Run it on the local host using a different port 9300 than the default 9100

ansible-playbook -c local -i 'localhost,' -e node_exporter_port=9300 node_exporter.yml
