Hi Julian,
You are running into the somewhat dangerous issue
https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/issues/1885, where if the same
metric name is mentioned in multiple files and does not have an explicit
HELP string set, then the Node Exporter will auto-generate the HELP string
with the textfile name in the name, which then leads to conflicting HELP
strings for the same metric across files, and only the first file's metrics
are reported. You can work around this by adding an explicit same HELP
string, like so:
File A:
# HELP jms_queue My metric help string
jms_queue{product="NGSSP",qdomain="OSBD1",qname="NGSSP_JMS_Logger!OSB2JMSServer@NGSSP_Logger_Q"}
0
jms_queue{product="NGSSP",qdomain="OSBD1",qname="NGSSP_JMS_Logger!OSB1JMSServer@NGSSP_Logger_Q"}
0
jms_queue{product="NGSSP",qdomain="OSBD1",qname="NGSSP_JMS_Logger!OSB4JMSServer@NGSSP_Logger_Q"}
0
jms_queue{product="NGSSP",qdomain="OSBD1",qname="NGSSP_JMS_Logger!OSB3JMSServer@NGSSP_Logger_Q"}
0
jms_queue{product="NGSSP",qdomain="OSBD11",qname="NGSSP_JMS_Logger!OSB1JMSServer@NGSSP_Logger_Q"}
0
jms_queue{product="NGSSP",qdomain="OSBD11",qname="NGSSP_JMS_Logger!OSB3JMSServer@NGSSP_Logger_Q"}
0
jms_queue{product="NGSSP",qdomain="OSBD12",qname="NGSSP_JMS_Logger!OSB2JMSServer@NGSSP_Logger_Q"}
0
jms_queue{product="NGSSP",qdomain="OSBD12",qname="NGSSP_JMS_Logger!OSB1JMSServer@NGSSP_Logger_Q"}
0
jms_queue{product="NGSSP",qdomain="OSBD12",qname="NGSSP_JMS_Logger!OSB3JMSServer@NGSSP_Logger_Q"}
0
File B:
# HELP jms_queue My metric help string
jms_queue{product="STANDALONE",qdomain="StandAlone",qname="IOMFPA_JMS_Module!IOM_FPA_JMSServer5@ConFPATargetQueue"}
0
jms_queue{product="STANDALONE",qdomain="StandAlone",qname="IOMFPA_JMS_Module!IOM_FPA_JMSServer2@ConFPATargetQueue"}
0
jms_queue{product="STANDALONE",qdomain="StandAlone",qname="IOMFPA_JMS_Module!IOM_FPA_JMSServer1@ConFPATargetQueue"}
0
jms_queue{product="STANDALONE",qdomain="StandAlone",qname="IOMFPA_JMS_Module!IOM_FPA_JMSServer4@ConFPATargetQueue"}
0
jms_queue{product="STANDALONE",qdomain="StandAlone",qname="IOMFPA_JMS_Module!IOM_FPA_JMSServer3@ConFPATargetQueue"}
0
As I understand it, there is otherwise currently neither an error being
logged, nor a metric indicating that some metrics were dropped :O
(e.g. node_scrape_collector_success{collector="textfile"} is still set to
1).
Regards,
Julius
