Node Exporter

When running SNClient on Linux or macOS there is a built-in node exporter which can be enabled by:

[/modules]
NodeExporterServer = enabled

[/settings/NodeExporter/server]
; use same port as the web server
port = ${/settings/WEB/server/port}

; disable password protection
require password = false

You can then scrape Linux metrics from http://<ip>:8443/node/metrics.

The node exporter will run as user nobody unless you set agent user otherwise.

The Prometheus scrape config might look like this:

SNClient is an open-source, general-purpose monitoring agent designed as a replacement for NSClient++. It is a drop-in replacement for most use cases.

It was written from scratch in Go using today’s state-of-the-art technologies. All the test and build procedures are located on GitHub.

It’s available for Linux, Windows and macOS for i386, x86_64 and arm64 (detailed list of supported operating systems).
