httpClient does not pass basic auth when gossip returns IP address about eventstore_exporter HOT 4 CLOSED

The "cluster mode" is confusing, that is true. The purpose of this setting is not to query gossip endpoint on single node installations, as this resulted in a timeout on versions <= 20.10. I think this setting will be deprecated when 20.10 goes out of support.

Hi and thanks for pointing this out. I will take a look when I find some time.

Hi again. I tried to repro the problem using my test cluster environment here, but haven't hit the problem you're seeing. The test env does not configure advertised addresses and gossip returns IP addresses. Can you provide more details about your setup?

Also from conceptual point of view, a single exporter instance is meant to monitor single ESDB node. So assuming you have multiple ESDB nodes, you would configure one exporter instance for monitoring each of them. A lot of reported metrics make sense only from the perspective of single node. The exporter provides the status about the node and the rest of the cluster "as seen by the monitored node".

Hi Marcin,
Thank you for explanation. 1:1 - metrics to node mapping makes sense. I got deceived by "cluster" mode.
I run metrics against k8s service which load balanced it across nodes. When exporter hit a Slave node ES returned 307 to Master. Redirect failed since Authorization header is not passed to IP address.

None issue since monitoring each node works fine - thanks again.
