node_exporter currently triggers autofs to mount the underlying
filesystem on every scrape. This is undesirable. Better ignore autofs.
The underlying filesystem that autofs mounts will be monitored though,
when the (real) filesystem is mounted.
Current behaviour throws away all stats on any Statfs error. In practice
this is not useful. This turns such errors into debug log messages -
though silently ignoring them seems even more valid to me.
Remove all hardcoded references to `/proc`. For all collectors that do
not use `github.com/prometheus/procfs` yet, provide a wrapper to
generate the full paths.
Reformulate help strings, errors and comments to remove absolute
references to `/proc`.
This is a breaking change: the `-collector.ipvs.procfs` flag is removed
in favor of the general flag. Since it only affected that collector it
was only useful for development, so this should not cause many issues.
Collects more information for labelling scraped filesystems with the device
and fsType. This is useful for setting alerts which should change based on
filesystem type, or for filtering out shared mounts such as with NFS volumes.
This puts all collector-specific flags into their own namespace under
"collector.<collector-name>", and moves from camel case to dashes, which
is the standard in Prometheus land now.
Switch to Update using the Collecter Collect interface, due to not knowing all
metricnames in all modules beforehand we can't use Describe and thus the full
Collecter interface.
Remove 'updates', it's meaning varies by module and doesn't add much.
