# Configure Ethereum Metrics Exporter

## Configure Ethereum Metrics Exporter

Edit the `eth-metrics.yml` file.

```bash
sudo nano /etc/eth-metrics/eth-metrics.yml
```

Insert the following text into the `eth-metrics.yml` file.

```yaml
consensus:
  enabled: true
  url: "<CONSENSUS_CLIENT_URL>"
  name: "<CONSENSUS_CLIENT_NAME>"
execution:
  enabled: true
  url: "<EXECUTION_CLIENT_URL>"
  name: "<EXECUTION_CLIENT_NAME>"
  modules:
    - "eth"
    - "net"
    - "web3"
    - "txpool"
pair:
  enabled: true
```

Make the following customizations to the text inserted:

1. Replace `<CONSENSUS_CLIENT_URL>` with the URL to your consensus client API. It should look similar to `http://localhost:3500/`. You can replace `localhost` with the IP address of your consensus client, if it is not running on the local host. Use the correct port for your consensus client.

   \
   **Default Consensus Client API Ports**

   1. Lighthouse: 5052
   2. Lodestar: 9596
   3. Nimbus: 5052
   4. Prysm: 3500
   5. Teku: 5051
2. Replace `<CONSENSUS_CLIENT_NAME>` with one of the following execution client names: `Lighthouse Beacon`, `Lodestar Beacon`, `Nimbus`, `Prysm Beacon`, `Teku`.
3. Replace `<EXECUTION_CLIENT_URL>` with the URL to your execution client API. It should look similar to `http://localhost:8545`. You can replace `localhost` with the IP address of your execution client, if it is not running on the local host. All execution clients use the same port.
4. Replace `<EXECUTION_CLIENT_URL>` with one of the following execution client names: `Besu`, `Erigon`, `Geth`, `Nethermind`.

When you are done making changes, you final `eth-metrics.yml` file might look something like the following.

```yaml
consensus:
  enabled: true
  url: "http://127.0.0.1:3500/"
  name: "Prysm Beacon"
execution:
  enabled: true
  url: "http://127.0.0.1:8545/"
  name: "Geth"
  modules:
    - "eth"
    - "net"
    - "web3"
    - "txpool"
pair:
  enabled: true
```

Save the file and exit the editor.
