It is further possible to also run and export metrics from node-exporter and postgres-exporter without installing Prometheus and Grafana. It is possible to use `matrix_prometheus_node_exporter_container_http_host_bind_port` etc., but not always the best choice, for example because your server is on a public network. Use the following variables additionally to the ones mentioned above:
### Collecting system and Postgres metrics to an external Prometheus server (advanced)
When you normally enable the Prometheus and Grafana via the playbook, it will also show general system (via node-exporter) and Postgres (via postgres-exporter) stats. If you are instead collecting your metrics to an external Prometheus server, you can follow this advanced configuration example to also export these stats.
It would be possible to use `matrix_prometheus_node_exporter_container_http_host_bind_port` etc., but that is not always the best choice, for example because your server is on a public network.
