Collected Exporter with heavy load about collectd_exporter HOT 5 CLOSED

It's best to run one collectd_exporter per node and send collectd traffic over localhost. This scales best.

from collectd_exporter.

Can you elaborate on it a little?

I have a VM where prometheus and collectd-exporter are running... Lets call it 'X'

I am using collectd on those 5 nodes (VMs) lets call them A, B, C, D, E

So do you want me to run 5 collectd-exporter's like X_A, X_B, X_C, X_D and X_E ?
All 5 X_* run on the VM X?

And then these 5 send data over localhost to prometheus?

Is this what you meant?

from collectd_exporter.

No, you run collectd_exporter on each node, A,B,C... Then Prometheus on host X is configured to scrape the exporter on http://A:9103/metrics, http://B:9103/metrics, etc.

from collectd_exporter.

So all collectds send to collectd-exporters on the localhost?
And the scraping work will be done by prometheus?
Is this right?

If yes, That's smart! :D

Thankyou so much :)

Yes, that's exactly it.
