>" In this post, we discussed monitoring volumes on Kubernetes using Prometheus, node-exporter, and nsenter. One disadvantage of this approach is that node-exporter must be run as a privileged container. In the future, it may be better to have Kubelet collect the volume stats so that we can get the stats directly from Kubernetes instead of running node-exporter as a privileged container."

I thought that node-exporter was meant to run in a container or on the host itself. Are there any potential downside to the single node-exporter in a side car approach?
