prometheus_ex on server with node_exporter - best practice #21

Open tomazbracic opened 6 years ago

Hi

Just a question, … let say I have a server, with prometheus (node_exporter) already installed and operational. Without having elixir on this server. Now, I would like to deploy to this server a Elixir app, in which I have and would like to use Prometheus_ex package, to be able to get some elixir/erlang VM specifics. How is this done? what would be best practice? Keeping both node_exporter and elixirs’ prometheus_ex and both exporting under /metrics but on different ports? or what?

Hi,

node_exporter and prometheus_ex doing different things, so it's a good idea to keep them both. Different ports are fine too I would say.
