I will install a Prometheus Node Exporter on a different server and connect to it using the main Prometheus service.
It is now exposing the metrics endpoint on http://[your domain or ip]:9100
We can create a scrape config on the Prometheus server that retrieves metrics from that URL.
But since my new node exporter is accessible from the internet, I will block port 9100.
And add an Nginx location to an existing website config I already have on this server that already has an SSL certificate bound.
Next, Go back onto the main Prometheus server and edit the existing scrape config for node and add the new metrics endpoint for the other server.
