Prometheus node_exporter - does not show up in Grafana
-
I just tried to set up Prometheus scraping for my pfsense instance using the node_exporter package, but the pfsense host/ip does not show up in the Grafana dashboard in the Job Selector menu.
Software versions:
- pfsense: 2.7.2-RELEASE (amd64)
- node_exporter pfsense package: 0.18.1_3
- Prometheus: 3.2.0
- Grafana: Grafana v11.5.2 (598e0338d5)
I am able to access metrics on the pfsense host via HTTP.
My Prometheus config stanza is as follows:
- job_name: pfsense0 # prometheus-node-exporter scrape_interval: 1s scrape_timeout: 1s static_configs: - targets: ['192.168.2.83:9100']
The dashboards I've tried are this and this.
Hosts other than pfsense are showing up in Grafana in both dashboards.
The pfsense target shows up in Prometheus as live.
I found a bug report on the Prometheus side, which may or may not be relevant.
I would appreciate any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this.
