Documents related to node_exporter metrics

At present, I am learning node_exporter, but there are many metric names. I wonder if there are any relevant documents that have sorted out all the metric names and their meanings for reference.

To my knowledge there is no such a list enumerating all the metrics names from node_exporter. It may be possible to automatically generate this list from the existing code, just need to figure out how to do that. Do you have an idea? :)

Sorry, I don't have any ideas at the moment. I'm just wondering if the maintenance personnel of this project have time to compile these indicators in a unified way, or if they can record the name, purpose and meaning of the new indicators in an open designated directory in the subsequent maintenance process.

We don't really have time nor plans to do so. The metrics usually come directly from proc/sysfs and the kernel have documentation for these. I'd be open though to be more consistent in the metrics descriptors to always show where the metrics are coming from to find the kernel docs more easily
