Node Exporter TLS/SSL support

[ackarande]

Hi,
I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature.
Node Exporter exposes a metrics endpoint e.g. /metrics. Now we need this to be secured/encrypted.
How to configure this. Does it support today?

Thanks,
Ashish.

This is currently being worked on in #1277.
Until this is done, the only way is binding node_exporter to the loopback interface and serving metrics through some kind of reverse proxy (e.g. nginx for HTTP or sshified for SSH).

Thanks for the details.
Regarding #1277 - any idea by when this will be available/GA?

We're going to be releasing it marked "experimental", as it will take time to figure out all the corner cases.

For now, I would recommend https://github.com/square/ghostunnel for production use.

Thanks - closing this thread and waiting for #1277.

Lets keep this open until this gets merged.

This issue can presumably be closed now.
