Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Documented the optional scrape_on_start setting, which defaults to false. When enabled and the scrape interval is greater than five seconds, current metrics are published once, five seconds after startup; regular publishing continues at the configured interval. For scrape intervals of five seconds or less, this initial publication does not apply.

Explanation

The title names the file (pipeline/inputs/node-exporter-metrics.md) and the single option being documented, scrape_on_start. The raw summary and PR objectives both confirm the change adds a scrape_on_start row to the node_exporter_metrics configuration table. The title is specific, accurate, and follows the docs: prefix convention. It does include path-like segments, which is slightly noisy, but it still clearly conveys the primary change.

- Line 72: Update the `scrape_on_start` description to say it schedules a
collection five seconds after startup rather than guaranteeing the first
publication occurs then. Note that regular collection runs first for
`scrape_interval` values of 3 or 4, and both collections run at the same time
for 5; retain the existing applicability condition and default.

…t timing

  Describe scrape_on_start as a one-time publish of the current metrics
  five seconds after startup. Note that the first regular round is
  published first when scrape_interval is 3 or 4, and at the same time
  when it is 5.
