ERROR No metric handlers enabled

Hi! I tried to run the docker container but got an error.

docker compose -f exporter-remote-compose.yml up
[+] Running 2/2

Maybe I need to enable something else? Any clues?

Hello,

Yes, you need to enable exporting the metrics to one (or many) of the systems: Prometheus, TimescaleDB, Redis.

To enable it for Prometheus (probably the default choice) in .env variable change PROMETHUS_ENABLED to true. By default it's disabled.

For Prometheus please check the documentation, it describes what mandatory parameters you need to set and how to run everything via docker compose:

I think I figured it out. The point is that the PROMETHEUS_ENABLED: ${PROMETHEUS_ENABLED} has been added to exporter-local-compose.yml. But it is not present in the exporter-remote-compose.yml. So the variable from the env file was simply not used. Now the container works. Thanks.

You are right, I've fixed the issue.
