# Node exporter

>**Note:**
Available since Omnibus GitLab 8.16. For installations from source you'll
have to install and configure it yourself.

The [node exporter] allows you to measure various machine resources such as
memory, disk and CPU utilization.

To enable the node exporter:

1. [Enable Prometheus](index.md#configuring-prometheus)
1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`
14
1. Add or find and uncomment the following line, making sure it's set to `true`:
15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

    ```ruby
    node_exporter['enable'] = true
    ```

1. Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab][reconfigure] for the changes to
   take effect

Prometheus will now automatically begin collecting performance data from
the node exporter exposed under `localhost:9100`.
