Thanks for the great tutorial! It was really helpful in setting up Prometheus, Grafana, and Node Exporter. I noticed that the Node Exporter setup is open to the public. Could you please provide some guidance or a follow-up video on how to secure the Node Exporter? Specifically, I'd like to know the best practices for restricting access to it.

[@purshoth.k5027]

Hi that's a great video. Can you help me to find a solution to absent metrics.. It seems that we keep receiving false alerts on absent metrics. Is there a way where we can stop this false alerts. 1) Is there any other alternative function instead of absent function which does the same work. 2) silencing an alert stops only the absent metric alert or stops entire genuine occurring alert as well.. 3) what happens if we reboot the alert manager will the false/in-active alert dissaper? We use prometheus version 2.10.1

HI Rahul Would like to know how you are stooping the Prometheus server is there any command or shortcut to do that. I'll be waiting for your revert.

Hi i am running the the Prometheus server in the forground mode so simply pressing ctrl+c should stop the prometheus server. If you are running the same prometheus server in the background then you much kill the process with the process id example - kill -9
