Step 5: Provision as Linux Service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start node_exporter
sudo systemctl status node_exporter

Step 6: Update firewall ports and restart firewall service

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=9100/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

b) Prometheus Exporter for RabbitMQ Installation on Linux

Step1: Download agent

wget https://github.com/kbudde/rabbitmq_exporter/releases/download/v0.29.0/rabbitmq_exporter-0.29.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Step 2: Extract rar file

tar -zxf rabbitmq_exporter-0.29.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Step 3: Navigate to the directory

cd rabbitmq_exporter-0.29.0.linux-amd64

# firewall-cmd --reload

d) Prometheus exporter for windows machines using WMI.

Step 1: Download the msi file

https://github.com/martinlindhe/wmi_exporter/releases/download/v0.9.0/wmi_exporter-0.9.0-amd64.msi

Step 2: Open powershell and execute the following commands. Please note the commands differ for windows, IIS, MSSQL, etc and are mentioned below as sub-steps

Step 2a: For Windows Only

msiexec /i <path-to-msi-file> ENABLED_COLLECTORS=os,cpu,cs,dns,logical_disk,memory,net,process,service,system,tcp LISTEN_PORT=9182

Step 2b: For IIS only

msiexec /i <path-to-msi-file> ENABLED_COLLECTORS=os,cpu,cs,dns,logical_disk,memory,net,process,service,system,tcp,iis LISTEN_PORT=9182

Step 2c: For MSSQL

msiexec /i <path-to-msi-file> ENABLED_COLLECTORS=os,cpu,cs,dns,logical_disk,memory,net,process,service,system,tcp,mssql LISTEN_PORT=9182

Step 2d: For all-in one VM

msiexec /i <path-to-msi-file> ENABLED_COLLECTORS=os,cpu,cs,dns,logical_disk,memory,net,process,service,system,tcp,iis,mssql LISTEN_PORT=9182

Step 3: You need to enable the respective port in firewall.

Note: We cannot run multiple wmi_exporter in single vm, before executing the command, please check if it needs to be enabled for IIS and MSSql etc.

e) Prometheus Exporter for Oracle on Linux

Step 1: In order to run, you'll need the Oracle Instant Client Basic for your operating system. Only the basic version is required for execution.

Select the zip file based on your os type and download the Basic Package (ZIP) Version 18.5.0.0.0 (any zip file in this version) download zip file. At the end of the page, you will have will have steps to how to Installation of ZIP files. Follow those steps carefully.

Step 2: Download the Oracle db exporter agent

 wget https://github.com/iamseth/oracledb_exporter/releases/download/0.2.2/oracledb_exporter.0.2.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Step 3: Extract the file

# tar -zxf oracledb_exporter.0.2.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
# cd oracledb_exporter.0.2.2.linux-amd64
# nohup ./oracledb_exporter -default.metrics=/home/oracle/oracledb_exporter.0.2.2.linux-amd64/default-metrics.toml  -web.listen-address :9161 &

Step 4: Enable firewall ports, 9162 is the default port

# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=9162/tcp
# firewall-cmd --reload

Step 5: Additional information, set the following paths as an example

export ORACLE_HOSTNAME=<Fully Qualified Domain Name>
export ORACLE_UNQNAME=test1 <unique name chosen>
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1
export ORACLE_SID=test1
export PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/glibc-2.14/lib:/u01/app/oracle/instantclient_18_5/instantclient_18_5
