##### Node (optional)

Optionally you can also collect per node metrics. This needs to be done on a per server instance.
The scrape configurations should use all the servers under `targets` so that graphing systems like
grafana can visualize them for all the nodes

```yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: minio-job
  metrics_path: /minio/v2/metrics/node
  scheme: http
  static_configs:

	envValues := make(map[string]string, len(envs))
	for _, envK := range envs {
		// skip certain environment variables as part
		// of the whitelist and could be configured
		// differently on each nodes, update skipEnvs()
		// map if there are such environment values
		if _, ok := skipEnvs[envK]; ok {
			continue
		}
		envValues[envK] = logger.HashString(env.Get(envK, ""))
	}

	nodes := endpoints.GetNodes()
	peers = make([]peerS3Client, len(nodes))
	for i, node := range nodes {
		if node.IsLocal {
			peers[i] = &localPeerS3Client{node: node}
		} else {
			peers[i] = newPeerS3Client(node)
		}
		peers[i].SetPools(node.Pools)
	}

	return peers
}

// Returns a peer S3 client.
func newPeerS3Client(node Node) peerS3Client {

		Help:      "Total number of bytes sent to the other peer nodes",
		Type:      counterMetric,
	}
}

func getInterNodeReceivedBytesMD() MetricDescription {
	return MetricDescription{
		Namespace: interNodeMetricNamespace,
		Subsystem: trafficSubsystem,
		Name:      receivedBytes,
		Help:      "Total number of bytes received from other peer nodes",
		Type:      counterMetric,
