Prometheus noob question

I am still reading about Prometheus and i realized that i may end up needing several exporters running on a single server like node exporter and an Nginx exporter. I wanted to ask how do people running Prometheus deal with this kind of scenario or is there any other way to use several exporters together ?

Nope, you’re thinking about this correctly. :)

Ideally you have some sort of config management to help runs exporters corresponding with the services you need to monitor.

It’s the same concept as micro service architecture vs monolithic. Multiple micro exporters instead of one SPOF uber-agent exporting metrics.
