Thanks for your response. What would you recommend in a situation with several hundredes or thousands of servers or systems within a kubernetes cluster which should have the node_exporter installed. my idea was to install the node_exporter + prometheus agent. agent scrapes local node_exporter and then remotw_writes the results to a central prometheus server or a loadbalancer which distributes to different prometheus servers. my idea was to user the same configu for alle node_exporter + prometheus agents. For that reason they all have the same job name which would be ok.
However I think I will have a problem because if I use "127.0.0.1:9100" as target to scrape then all instances are equal. Is there any possibility to use a variable in the scrape_config which reflects any environment variable from linux system or any other mechanism to make this instance unique?
