Agent node_exporter install

sudo useradd node_exporter -s /sbin/nologin
mkdir -p /opt/prom-exporters
wget https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/releases/download/v*/node_exporter-*.*-amd64.tar.gz
tar xvfz node_exporter-*.*-amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv node_exporter-*.*-amd64/node_exporter /opt/prom-exporters/
rm -rf node_exporter-*.*-amd64

Create a systemd service file /etc/systemd/system/node_exporter.service: 

[Unit]
Description=Node Exporter

[Service]
User=node_exporter
EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/node_exporter
ExecStart=/opt/prom-exporters/node_exporter $OPTIONS

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Create a sysconfig file: 

sudo mkdir -p /etc/sysconfig
sudo echo "OPTIONS=\"--collector.textfile.directory /var/lib/node_exporter/textfile_collector\"" > /etc/sysconfig/node_exporter

Reload systemd configuration and configure node_exporter to auto-start on system boot: 

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable node_exporter
sudo systemctl start node_exporter

Once the Node Exporter is installed, verify that metrics are being exported: 

curl http://localhost:9100/metrics

Agent mysqld_exporter install

Prepare MySQL user for agent: 

GRANT REPLICATION CLIENT, PROCESS ON *.* TO 'mysqld_exporter'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'My_Secure_Password';
GRANT SELECT ON performance_schema.* TO 'mysqld_exporter'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Create a mysql password file /opt/prom-exporters/.mysqld_exporter.cnf: 

[client]
user=mysqld_exporter
password=My_Secure_Password

Change file owner and permission: 

chown prometheus. /opt/prom-exporters/.mysqld_exporter.cnf
chmod 600 /opt/prom-exporters/.mysqld_exporter.cnf

Install mysqld_exporter: 

wget https://github.com/prometheus/mysqld_exporter/releases/download/v0.12.1/mysqld_exporter-0.12.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar zxvf mysqld_exporter-0.12.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
cd mysqld_exporter-0.12.1.linux-amd64
chown prometheus. mysqld_exporter
mv mysqld_exporter /opt/prom-exporters/
cd ..
rm -rf mysqld_exporter-0.12.1.linux-amd64*

Create a systemd service file /etc/systemd/system/mysqld_exporter.service: 

[Unit]

User=prometheus
Group=prometheus

[Service]
Type=simple
