Prometheus – No Metric node_cpu Issue

prometheus

I've setup Prometheus and node_exporter. All example graphs I've found utilize node_cpu but I don't have this metric present. The closest I've come is node_cpu_seconds_total. Am I missing something or is my version of Prometheus incompatible with these graphs?

The 0.16.0 version of the node exporter improved many key metrics to follow naming guidelines that arose since it was created, so node_cpu_seconds_total is the new name. Many dashboards etc. are still using the old names.

I'm running newer versions of prometheus now, I had this in the 1.X series as well,

Try and see if it works in your version (I can't find any old documentation online, but some old github issues seems to relate to it as well).

Disk usage metrics missing from Prometheus node exporter

Pay your attention to /etc/default/prometheus-node-exporter: for e. g., recently I realised Ubuntu's (18.04) package cuts out by default all disks statistics:

ARGS="--collector.diskstats.ignored-devices=^(ram|loop|fd|(h|s|v|xv)d[a-z]|nvme\\d+n\\d+p)\\d+$ \

Pretty weird as to me, but at least can be adjusted.
