PMM2: is there still a need for node_exporter when vmagent is active?

Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) PMM 2.x

After upgrading the pmm client to 2.14 the vmagent is started automatically in push mode. I have changed the services to “push” mode as well. I wonder if there is still a need for “node_exporter” when vmagent is running. If not, how would I remove “node_exporter”?

Hi Stefan,

Node exporter is still required. Vmagent doesn’t collect node metrics.
