Error node_exporter 0.18.1_1

@thedude42 , Maybe. My solution is of course temporary and based on system logs.
BTW after these two commands, I see node_exporter in the menu again and everything works for me.

Hopefully this gets sorted : )

Issue 11515

cukal

I had to install, execute the 2 cmd's, deinstall & reinstall and now it's running and visible in the menu

I had the exact same mileage but I was hoping an update would come available rather than trying the hacks above, plus the bundled version of node_exporter is several revs behind upstream.
Is there a way to file an official bug with the package maintaner?

The fixes will be in the next update:

In 2.5.x node_exporter once showed in service drop down. Now it doesn't and now 2.6.0 Updating OS didn't help. Same issue is showing up for Wireguard. I don't believe this is a NExport specific issue.

I installed Wireguard today. The VPN dropdown didn't update till a system reboot. Then shortly after maybe a reboot or such. It doesn't show up in the VPN drop down.

Has anyone done a scratch install and see if this issue is from eventual use or if this straight out of the box?

@cukal I ended up just uninstalling and reinstalling to resolve the issue.

@cube8021 No dice on my side.

@cube8021 If go to /pkg_edit.php?xml=node_exporter.xml

because I can find the button. I get this when I save.

I am not some kind of pfSense guru and my advice may be wrong, but here is my solution of the same problem:
mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/rc.conf.d
cp /usr/local/etc/rc.d/node_exporter /usr/local/share/pfSense-pkg-node_exporter/node_exporter.sh

My node_exporter 0.18.1_2 on pfsense 2.5.1 gave me the same could not open error. I used these commands verbatim and after reboot the service started up and the metrics were exposed as expected. Thank you
