# Node exporter
DETAILS:
**Tier:** Free, Premium, Ultimate
**Offering:** Self-managed
The [node exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter) enables you to measure
various machine resources such as memory, disk and CPU utilization.
For self-compiled installations, you must install and configure it yourself.
To enable the node exporter:
1. [Enable Prometheus](index.md#configuring-prometheus).
1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`.
1. Add (or find and uncomment) the following line, making sure it's set to `true`:
```ruby
node_exporter['enable'] = true
```
1. Save the file, and [reconfigure GitLab](../../restart_gitlab.md#reconfigure-a-linux-package-installation)
for the changes to take effect.
Prometheus begins collecting performance data from the node exporter
exposed at `localhost:9100`.
