tutorial on how to start from scratch

[esseti]

Hello,

I've several nodes running elastic, and I would like to install the exporter on each node.

Now, I've installed GO, downloading the package and running tar -C /usr/local -xzf go$VERSION.$OS-$ARCH.tar.gz adding export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin as said here https://golang.org/doc/install

Then, following the readme i run go get -u github.com/justwatchcom/elasticsearch_exporter which ends without saying anything (is that fine?).

And, when I try to run elasticsearch_exporter --help i get a command not found .

what's the problem? i'm quite new to go and how it works..

The easiest way to get started would be to run it in Docker.

Currently we don't provide binary releases, but we'll try to do so in the future.

Is there any tutorial on how to run it with docker?

my current problem is that I run a elastic cluster with kubernetes, so i should attach the exporter somewhere.

If I understood correctly, you are running Elastic inside Kubernetes cluster, so the nodes are deployed as Pods in K8s.

The easiest way to go about it, is to add the exporter as a container in these Pods.

If you share your K8s deployment manifest for Elastic, I can help suggest how to add the exporter.

We're providing documentation and examples for docker, docker-compose and kubernetes as well as binary releases for most platforms.

This should cover these issues. Otherwise feel free to open another one.
