* Prometheus uses the '''job_name''' to label exporters in queries and on graphs, so be sure to pick something descriptive here. And, as Prometheus exports important data about itself that you can use for monitoring performance and debugging, we've overridden the global '''scrape_interval''' directive from 15 seconds to 5 seconds for more frequent updates. Lastly, Prometheus uses the '''static_configs''' and '''targets''' directives to determine where exporters are running. Since this particular exporter is running on the same server as Prometheus itself, we can use localhost instead of an IP address along with the default port, '''[[9090]]'''.
