Prometheus : Add Monitoring Target2026/03/26

	Add Monitoring Target Nodes.
[1]	Install [node-exporter] package on the Node you'd like to add that includes features to get metric data of general resource on the System like CPU or Memory usage.

# install from EPEL

[root@node01 ~]#

dnf --enablerepo=epel -y install node-exporter

[root@node01 ~]#

systemctl enable --now node_exporter

[2]	If Firewalld is running, allow ports.

[root@node01 ~]#

firewall-cmd --add-port=9100/tcp

success
[root@node01 ~]#

firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent

success

[3]	Add setting on Prometheus Server Configuration.

[root@dlp ~]#

vi /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml

  # line 51 : add new Host to [targets] line
    - job_name: node
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9100', 'node01.srv.world:9100']

  # alternatively, if you like to add to other groups,
  # add [job_name] section like follows
  # any name is OK for [job_name]
  - job_name: Hiroshima
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['node01.srv.world:9100']

[root@dlp ~]#

systemctl restart prometheus

[4]	Access to the Prometheus Web UI and click [Status] - [Targets] to verify new nodes are listed.

[5]	To input query directly, it's possible to display specific Job or Node. The example below shows a Job for [node_load5]. ⇒ node_load5{job="Hiroshima"}

[6]	The example below shows a Node for [node_procs_running]. ⇒ node_procs_running{instance=~"node01.*"}
