# node-exporter The standalone node-exporter runs in `observability-agent` with the embedded kube-prometheus-stack copy and kube-rbac-proxy disabled. It mounts only `/proc`, `/sys`, and `/` from the node, all read-only, and exposes an internal ClusterIP metrics Service on port `9100`. Host network, PID, and IPC namespaces remain disabled by the platform security contract. Consequently, network-namespace metrics are treated as a known single-node visibility limitation rather than authoritative host-network data.
