External host/containers monitoring? about dockprom HOT 5 CLOSED

Deploy docker-compose.exporters.yml on an external host and in your Prometheus config add the hostname or the IP like this:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'nodeexporter'
    scrape_interval: 5s
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['nodeexporter:9100','external_host1_ip:9100']

  - job_name: 'cadvisor'
    scrape_interval: 5s
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['cadvisor:8080','external_host1_ip:8080']

Hey, @ScottBrenner @stefanprodan I am facing some issue if you can help.
I have already started node-exporter on another Server A but on grafana dashboard, I am getting this error as below

Can you please help me with how to do templating and also if changes in Prometheus for the same?
I am very new to grafana and Prometheus and now I am stuck in one of the grafana monitoring issues.

@ScottBrenner @stefanprodan
Sorry for newb question (new to docker and stuff), do I have to add the nodeexporter / cadvisor services to my already existing container (.yml) in order to be able to scrape it?

If you brought up all the containers in the docker-compose.yml it will by default pick up containers and nodes relative to that host.

This topic was more for other external hosts outside of the dockprom stack itself.
