Hello experts- Requirement is to create a Kibana dashboards of OS related metrics by reusing Prometheus Server setup. 1. I am having a Prometheus server and multiple node exporters (30) already set up in AWS. 2. Installed metric beat on Prometheus server and integrated with Elasticsearch 3. Now I want to retrieve exporters (Targets) metrics which is already stored in Prometheus at regular interval . 4. Metricbeat document is suggesting to connect with each host (Node Exporters) explicitly and scrape the data ,which is not feasible in my case . I want to avoid making multiple calls to other servers . Dont want to increase traffic. Please suggest a way to get data directly all the exporter metric from Prometheus Server. Many Thanks Mish ---
