Are you running node_exporter in Docker?

No

What did you do that produced an error?

As per docs I am using a web.conf file, which looks like this:

http_server_config:
    http2: true
tls_server_config:
    cert_file: /etc/prometheus/exporters/node_exporter.crt
    key_file: /etc/prometheus/exporters/node_exporter.key

This does work, but not on HTTP2:

What did you expect to see?

A response over HTTP2

What did you see instead?

A response over HTTP/1.1

[Bogay]

This error seems to be caused by the version of prometheus/exporter-toolkit. I upgrade it to v0.7.1 (which is used on current master branch) and then I can get HTTP/2 response. Tested on commit a2321e7b940ddcff26873612bccdf7cd4c42b6b6

2409 discussed about the new release. @dnmvisser maybe you can wait for that?

[discordianfish]

Yeah should be fixed in 1.4.0. Can you try the rc? Or the final release will go out today or in the next few days.
