{% hint style="info" %}
If you prefer not to expose node/proxy permissions, you can include the following configuration when [installing the exporter](https://docs.perfectscale.io/getting-started/how-to-onboard-a-cluster#onboarding-instructions):

```
--set settings.cAdvisorScrapingMode=direct
```

 Learn more about scraping modes [here](https://docs.perfectscale.io/getting-started/how-to-onboard-a-cluster#setting-cadvisor-scraping-mode).
