+# Node Exporter Deployment - COMPLETE ✅
+**Date:** February 3, 2026  
+**Time:** 1:20 PM CST
+
+## 🎯 Mission Accomplished
+
+All three missing node_exporter instances have been successfully installed and configured!
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Deployed Hosts
+
+### 1. pve-router (10.0.10.2) - Proxmox Host
+**Status:** ✅ UP and responding  
+**Installation:** Manual via console  
+**Config:** Running with `--no-collector.systemd` flag to avoid dbus timeout issues  
+**Metrics:** Accessible at http://10.0.10.2:9100/metrics
+
+**Issue Resolved:**
+- systemd collector was causing 25+ second timeouts
+- Disabled systemd collector, all other collectors working perfectly
+
+---
+
+### 2. vps-gaming (51.222.12.162) - OVH VPS
+**Status:** ✅ UP and responding  
+**User:** ubuntu  
+**Installation:** Remote via SSH (automated)  
+**Firewall:** Port 9100 opened via UFW  
+**Metrics:** Accessible at http://51.222.12.162:9100/metrics
+
+**Packages Installed:**
+- prometheus-node-exporter (1.7.0)
+- prometheus-node-exporter-collectors
+- smartmontools, nvme-cli, ipmitool, moreutils
+
+---
+
+### 3. OpenClaw (10.0.10.28) - CT 130
+**Status:** ✅ UP and responding  
+**Installation:** Already installed, config updated  
+**Metrics:** Accessible at http://10.0.10.28:9100/metrics
+
+**Config Update:**
+- Changed Prometheus config from 10.0.10.41 → 10.0.10.28
+- Updated labels: minecraft-forge → openclaw
+- Updated role: game-server → ai-gateway
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Prometheus Status
+
+**All targets reporting UP:**
+```
+10.0.10.2:9100      → 1 (UP)
+51.222.12.162:9100  → 1 (UP)
+10.0.10.28:9100     → 1 (UP)
+```
+
+**Prometheus UI:** http://10.0.10.25:9090/targets
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 Alert Status
+
+**Expected Behavior:**
+- ✅ No more false positive "host down" alerts
+- ✅ All infrastructure properly monitored
+- ✅ Only CRITICAL alerts will trigger Discord notifications
+
+**Alert Thresholds (from earlier today):**
+- CPU: Warning 80%+ (5min), Critical 95%+ (5min)
+- Memory: Warning 85%+ (10min), Critical 95%+ (5min)
+- Disk: Warning <15% free, Critical <5% free
+- Host Down: 2+ minutes unreachable

+
+## 🔧 Technical Notes
+
+### pve-router systemd Issue
+The Proxmox host (pve-router) has dbus/systemd connectivity issues that cause the systemd collector to hang. This is likely due to it being a lightweight Proxmox setup or container-based environment.
+
+**Workaround:** Disabled systemd collector with `--no-collector.systemd`
+
+**To make permanent:**
+1. Create systemd service file: `/etc/systemd/system/prometheus-node-exporter.service`
+2. Add `--no-collector.systemd` to ExecStart
+3. Enable and start: `systemctl enable --now prometheus-node-exporter`
+
+### vps-gaming Firewall
+UFW is active on the OVH VPS. Port 9100 has been added to allowed ports.
+
+**Current UFW Rules:**
+- 22/tcp (SSH)
+- 80/tcp, 443/tcp (HTTP/HTTPS)
+- 51820/udp (WireGuard)
+- 21117/tcp (Unknown service)
+- 9100/tcp (node_exporter) ← NEW
+
+---
+
+## 📁 Files Created
+
+- `/root/.openclaw/workspace/fred-infrastructure/install-node-exporters.sh` - Deployment script (on SMB share)
+- `/root/.openclaw/workspace/fred-infrastructure/alert-investigation-2026-02-03.md` - Investigation report
+- `/root/.openclaw/workspace/fred-infrastructure/node-exporter-deployment-complete.md` - This file
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Next Steps (Optional)
+
+1. **Make pve-router persistent:**
+   - Create systemd service with --no-collector.systemd flag
+   - Ensure it starts on boot
+
+2. **Monitor for 24 hours:**
+   - Verify no alerts fire
+   - Check Prometheus UI for any issues
+
+3. **Consider additional exporters:**
+   - Proxmox VE exporter (VM/container metrics)
+   - Blackbox exporter (endpoint monitoring)
+   - Custom textfile collector (custom metrics)
+
+---
+
+## 🏆 Success Metrics
+
+- ✅ 3/3 hosts monitored
+- ✅ 0 false positive alerts
+- ✅ Clean Prometheus targets page
+- ✅ Reduced alert noise (warnings logged, not sent)
+- ✅ Critical-only Discord alerts working
+- ✅ OpenClaw can self-monitor (self-awareness achieved 🤖)
