Starting node_exporter while disable-ling a specific collector - collector.diskstats












0














Since my servers are hosted in a VPS, I don't have a /proc/diskstats that can provide node_exporter (Version 0.17.0) with disk statistics. So I ended up with repetitive error messages :



ERRO[0037] ERROR: diskstats collector failed after 0.000034s: couldn't get diskstats: open /proc/diskstats: no such file or directory source="collector.go:132"



I want to tell the exporter to ignore diskstats collector but was unable to do it. as just putting the flag --collector.diskstats does nothing as it is enabled by default.



how can I start the exporter while telling it to ignore the collector.diskstats (or any other collector) ?



Thank you so much !
