The node exporter enables you to measure various machine resources such as memory, disk and CPU utilization.
For self-compiled installations, you must install and configure it yourself.
To enable the node exporter:
- Enable Prometheus.
- Edit
/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
. -
Add (or find and uncomment) the following line, making sure it’s set to
true
:node_exporter['enable'] = true
- Save the file, and reconfigure GitLab for the changes to take effect.
