I’m doing a project for school where I monitor a server using prometheus and grafana, I managed to install all Prometheus, node exporter, and grafana and connected the servers. but when I access port 9090 I cant find data from node exporter nor does it show in the target page, mean while when accessing port 9100 it shows full data without any issues. I’m not sure where I went wrong with the configuration. I’m using an Ubuntu 16.04 on AWS, all ports has been configured as well to allow access.

Defaul$ evaluation\_interval: 15s # Evaluate rules every 15 seconds. The default is ev$ # scrape\_timeout is set to the global default (10s). # Alertmanager configuration alerting: alertmanagers: - static\_configs: - targets: # - alertmanager:9093 # Load rules once and periodically evaluate them according to the global 'evalu$ rule\_files: # - “first\_rules.yml” # - “second\_rules.yml” # A scrape configuration containing exactly one endpoint to scrape: # Here it’s Prometheus itself. scrape\_configs: # The job name is added as a label `job=` to any timeseries scraped$ - job\_name: ‘prometheus’ static\_configs: - job\_name: ‘node\_exporter’ scrape\_interval: 5s static\_configs: ---
