    • ens33 – 172.16.33.15/24

    • ens160 – 192.168.9.15/24

  9. SSH/Putty to SwarmTelemetry using;

    1. Username - root

    2. Password - datacore

  10. Modify Prometheus configure file by;

    1. Adding gateways job
      Note: It is recommended to use DNS names so IP addresses are not exposed on the dashboards.

    2. Adding Swarm Nodes job

      Code Block
      languageyaml
      vi /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
