Hello,

First, it is not required to run the node exporter as root.

Then, it means that you did not enable TLS, which is the default:

Thanks Julien 

I think that there an issue with the RHEL6 image...

I installed on a RHEL7 image and it is working fine.

I see no issue here. What do you mean?

It can not be enabled *on the fly*. It can still be enabled however.
