# Prometheus Node Exporter

* Installs prometheus [node exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter)

## TL;DR;

```console
$ helm install stable/prometheus-node-exporter
```

## Introduction

This chart bootstraps a prometheus [node exporter](http://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter) deployment on a [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:

```console
$ helm install --name my-release stable/prometheus-node-exporter
```

The command deploys node exporter on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [configuration](#configuration) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

## Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the `my-release` deployment:

```console
$ helm delete my-release
```

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

## Configuration

The following table lists the configurable parameters of the Node Exporter chart and their default values.

Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example,

```console
$ helm install --name my-release \
  --set serviceAccount.name=node-exporter  \
    stable/prometheus-node-exporter
```

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

```console
$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/prometheus-node-exporter
```
