# Ansible role for Node exporter

This role will setup [Node exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter) on any Linux machine using systemd.

## Role Variables

- `node_exporter_version`: the version of Node exporter that will be installed.

The role will download the Node exporter release on the deployer and upload the binary to the target host.

If the `/usr/local/bin/node_exporter` binary already exists, the role will skip the install steps. You can force them (to update, for instance), by setting `node_exporter_force_install` to true.

- `node_exporter_system_group`: the name of the group that will run Node exporter.(`node-exporter`)

- `node_exporter_system_user`: the name of the user that will run Node exporter. Default to `node_exporter_system_group`.

- `node_exporter_web_listen_address`: the address Node exporter will listen on. (`0.0.0.0:9100`)

Node exporter comes with a default set of enabled and disabled collectors.

You can enable more collectors with `node_exporter_enabled_collectors`.

The default is:

```yaml

node_exporter_enabled_collectors:

  - systemd

  - ntp

  - filesystem:

      ignored-mount-points: "^/(sys|proc|dev)($|/)"

      ignored-fs-types: "^(sys|proc|auto)fs$"

```

To disable collectors, use `node_exporter_enabled_collectors`. It's empty by default.

## Example playbook

```yaml

---

- hosts: myhost

  roles: node-exporter

```
