This repository only exists for the purpose of redirecting people to the Node exporter, which is the standard Prometheus exporter for machine/system/host/node-related metrics.

Several people have been confused by the repository name node_exporter, thinking it was an exporter for Node.js. Consequently, they assumed that there wasn’t a machine metrics exporter, yet. This is why this dummy repo was created: to catch people’s glances and redirect them to the right place.
