Disabling the Prometheus Exporters

The Prometheus exporters are all enabled by default. It is simple to disable them using the following procedure.

Add the following to /etc/tungsten/tungsten.ini under the [defaults] section:

shell> vi /etc/tungsten/tungsten.ini
[defaults]
property=manager.prometheus.exporter.enabled=false
property=replicator.prometheus.exporter.enabled=false
property=connector.prometheus.exporter.enabled=false
...

warning

Either SHUN the individual nodes one at a time and WELCOME each one after running the update, or set policy to MAINTENANCE via cctrl and update all nodes, then set the policy back to AUTOMATIC when all nodes have been completed.

Update the configuration:

shell> tpm update

important

You may need to restart the Manager, Replicator or Connector, depending on what was changed.

Verify that the port is no longer listening:

shell> sudo netstat -pan | grep 8091
