We'll start with the Node Exporter (https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter) service. It'll export different types of metrics related to our servers:
A note to Windows users
For mounts used in the next command to work, you have to stop Git Bash from altering file system paths. Set this environment variable:
export MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1
This chapter contains many docker service create commands that use mounts. Before you execute those commands, please ensure that the environment variable MSYS_NO_PATHCONV exists and is set to 1:
echo $MSYS_NO_PATHCONV
docker service create \ --name node-exporter \ --mode global \ --network proxy \ --mount "type=bind,source=/proc,target=/host/proc" \ --mount "type=bind,source=/sys,target=/host/sys" ...
