Overview

A puppet module for setting up the Prometheus node_exporter service

Requirements

Although there are no specific requiremets, it worth noting that node_explorer by itself might be useless without a Prometheus server. There are modules ready in the forge for it, therefore it is out of the scope of this one.

Usage

Basic usage

This example would install and configure node_exporter for you, then create a service in systemd to manage it.

    class { 'node_exporter': }

Choosing a version

To select a different version than default versions (please check data/commons.yaml for more information), you must provide the version number you want installed, and the correspoding checsum.

    class { 'node_exporter':
      version       => '1.3.1',
    }
    class { 'node_exporter::install':
      checksum      => '68f3802c2dd3980667e4ba65ea2e1fb03f4a4ba026cca375f15a0390ff850949',
      checksum_type => 'sha256',
    }

Customization

Change default values, like for example the destination of the binary after extraction

    class { 'node_exporter':
      version       => '1.3.1',
    }

    class { 'node_exporter::install':
      install_path  => '/usr/local/bin',
      checksum      => '68f3802c2dd3980667e4ba65ea2e1fb03f4a4ba026cca375f15a0390ff850949',
      checksum_type => 'sha256',
    }

Using Hiera

You're encouraged to define your configuration using Hiera.

node_exporter::version: '1.3.0'
node_exporter::install::checksum: '68f3802c2dd3980667e4ba65ea2e1fb03f4a4ba026cca375f15a0390ff850949'
node_exporter::install::checksum_type: 'sha256'
