Orchestrating a Full Monitoring Stack with Docker
Deploying the Node Exporter
To begin collecting system-level metrics, deploy the Node Exporter container. This requires mounting host paths to allow the exporter to read proc and sys filesystem statistics.
docker run -d \
--name node-metrics \
--restart unless-stopped \
-p 9100:9100 \
-v "/proc:/host/proc:ro" \
-v "/sys:/host/sys:ro" ...
