Document macOS support for the stat and thermal_zone collectors added to
the node exporter metrics input in fluent-bit 5a1300632 and 8556d0368.

  • Update the macOS default for the metrics option to include stat and
    thermal_zone, matching NE_DEFAULT_ENABLED_METRICS
  • Add stat and thermal_zone to the macOS data source sentence in the same
    description: stat reads sysctl, thermal_zone reads IOKit
  • Mark the stat collector as available on macOS and note that only boot
    time is exposed there, read from the kern.boottime sysctl, while forks
    and interruptions remain Linux-only
  • Mark the thermal_zone collector as available on macOS and link it to a
    new macOS thermal metrics section
  • Add a macOS thermal metrics section listing the four metrics exposed
    there, since macOS has no /sys/class/thermal equivalent and the metric
    set differs from Linux
  • Note that the three cpu_ metrics only appear once the operating system
    records a CPU power limit, that they are created individually so some
    can appear before others, and that the ratios are fractions between 0
    and 1 rather than percentages
  • Note that a sensor without a product name is labeled Unknown #N
  • Re-pad the collectors table so the pipes stay aligned for MD060 after
    the wider Version column

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the Node Exporter Metrics reference with macOS support for the stat and thermal_zone collectors.
    • Documented their sysctl and IOKit data sources, supported macOS versions, default enablement, and collection behavior.
    • Added details on macOS thermal metrics, including ARM64-only temperature reporting, CPU power-limit metrics, ratio semantics, and fallback sensor labels.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Node Exporter Metrics reference documents macOS support for the stat and thermal_zone collectors, their default inclusion, data sources, supported versions, and thermal metrics.

Changes

macOS Node Exporter collector documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
macOS collector reference
pipeline/inputs/node-exporter-metrics.md
The configuration and collectors tables document macOS support, versions, and data sources for stat and thermal_zone. A new section describes IOKit-backed thermal metrics, ARM64-only temperature samples, CPU power-limit metrics, ratio ranges, and unnamed sensor labels.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b88ef

The documentation adds macOS collector coverage, but the thermal_zone scrape-interval key does not match the runtime key, so users may configure an override that is ignored and fall back to the global interval. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness and a follow-up to align the spelling.

- Line 67: The thermal-zone scrape interval uses inconsistent configuration
keys. Align the runtime lookup and configuration map/documentation to one
spelling, preferably the existing thermal_zone form, so
collector.thermal_zone.scrape_interval overrides are honored.
