FATAL: kernel too old
Segmentation fault

Go requires atleast 2.6.23 and does not support RHEL 5 and derivatives.

It appears that this isn't a node_exporter or even a Go problem: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/fatal-kernel-too-old-935165/.

Closing, as this is not an actionable issue for node_exporter.

working like charm on 0.14 version of node-exporter

[SuperQ]

This may be due to older versions of Go used to build previous releases. You may try building your own custom binary with an older Go compiler, but this is not something we can officially support.

In particular, node_exporter 0.14.0 was built with go1.8.1 while 0.15.0 uses go1.9.1.

Thanks a lot for feedback!
