					<description><![CDATA[The node exporter's textfile collector is handy for monitoring machine-level cronjobs. How would you go about that? Let's say you had a simple bash script and you wanted to track how long it takes, and when it last ran. You could do something like: #!/bin/bash # Adjust as needed. TEXTFILE_COLLECTOR_DIR=/var/lib/node_exporter/textfile_collector/ # Note the start time [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The node exporter includes many metrics out of the box, it can't possibly cover all use cases though. That's where the textfile collector comes in, allowing you to extend machine instrumentation for your use case. The node exporter by default exposes metrics about filesystem fullness. Sometimes though there's particular directories you want to keep an eye on [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It's a best practice with Prometheus that target labels should be constant over a target's entire lifetime. On the other hand it's useful to aggregate metrics across all the machines that are currently Apache servers. How can we do that? A key concept in Prometheus is that you want continuity in your time series, that is that they don't change [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sometimes you need a machine metric that's not exported yet by the node exporter. The textfile collector can be used to quickly get such metrics graphed in Prometheus. &#160; One of my computers was randomly getting turned off. Looking through the logs wasn't fruitful, and as it has always run a bit hot I suspected [&#8230;]]]></description>
