Decision-first: macOS and Linux node_exporter expose different metric names — write per-OS memory/disk expressions. The stock node dashboard hides Darwin on purpose. Scrape external hosts via ScrapeConfig + relabel job/instance. On a GB10, there are no GPU framebuffer or profiling metrics — read model footprint from system RAM.

Scope & freshness: kube-prometheus-stack + node_exporter + DCGM, macOS + Linux/GB10, as of 2026-05-25. Re-check the GB10 DCGM gaps after a DCGM/driver bump.

DaemonSets#

A DaemonSet ensures that a copy of a pod runs on every node in the cluster – or on a selected subset of nodes. When a new node joins the cluster, the DaemonSet controller automatically schedules a pod on it. When a node is removed, the pod is garbage collected.

This is the right abstraction for infrastructure that needs to run everywhere: log collectors, monitoring agents, network plugins, storage drivers, and security tooling.
