Only requires the default job_name: node and target[addrs:portno] in prometheus.yml file. By default it take metrics form localhost:9100/metrics

  - job_name: node
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9100']

If the metrics are available at a specific path other than the default, it needs to be defined in the configuration file.

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: "node"
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["localhost:9100"]
    metrics_path: "/some/path"

Recommended for prometheus-node-exporter the arguments ‘–collector.systemd –collector.processes’ because the graph uses some of their metrics
