I’m getting the following error while accessing the node_exporter metrics

[manu@Inspiron-14-5430 bin (⎈|test:default)]$ curl https://localhost:9100/metrics
curl: (35) error:0A00010B:SSL routines::wrong version number
[manu@Inspiron-14-5430 bin (⎈|test:default)]$

I’m using ubuntu 22.04

[manu@Inspiron-14-5430 bin (⎈|test:default)]$ lsb_release -a

Do we need to configure RP (nginx RP) to make this work?

#2

This issue was resolved. basically what we have to do is when we configure the node exporter service file, need to add the following line
instead of --web.config should add --web.config.file
sample configuration file

[Unit]
Description=Node Exporter
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=node_exporter
Group=node_exporter
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/node_exporter --web.config.file=/etc/node_exporter/config.yml
#web.config.file=/etc/node_exporter/config.yml
