Metrics renamed, dashboad example broken
In 2018, node exporter renamed some metrics (see https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/releases/tag/v0.16.0, https://www.robustperception.io/new-features-in-node-exporter-0-16-0). As a result, a number of dashboard metrics are broken such as https://github.com/prometheus-community/elasticsearch_exporter/blob/master/examples/grafana/dashboard.json#L1419 which refers to a now absent node_memory_MemTotal instead of node_memory_MemTotal_bytes.
I wonder if these metrics are useful as defaults for the dashboard. There are a lot of ways to run elasticsearch and many of them do not map directly to an individual host/node (ex Amazon OpenSearch, Elastic Cloud, Docker). I think the best option may be to remove them from the default dashboard and allow users to customize the dashboard to their environment.
Leave the Elasticsearch graphs specific to Elasticsearch data; Makes sense to me.
I face the same issue, should we replace node_memory_MemTotal by node_memory_MemTotal_bytes in the default dashboard?
