Marcel Amirault 4633604424 Fix whitespace in many administration docs
Many code blocks are 4spaced, and they render in GitLab
without coloring as a result, even though they are
fenced with a language label. If in a list, other items
will render as being in a code block too, even if not
meant to. This fixes all these issues for many admin
docs (part 2)

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

  2. Edit /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb

  3. Add or find and uncomment the following line, making sure it's set to true:

    node_exporter['enable'] = true
    
  4. Save the file and reconfigure GitLab for the changes to take effect

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