Hello Everyone,

   We are facing to start node exporter as container on one of our host.

Version : 0.15.1 tried latest one also It is running well in another nodes.

docker run -d --net=host --pid="host" -v "/mnt/ebs0:/mnt/ebs0:ro,rslave" --name=node_exporter_x.x.x.x -p 9100:9100 quay.io/prometheus/node-exporter:v0.15.1

This is not recommend; run it on the host, not in a container.

And what do you do on CoreOS, where everything runs within a container?
