node_exporter 0.18.1_1 - Unable to interact or start the service from web ui
0%
Description
This bug can be reproduced on my Netgate XG-7100 running 21.02-RELEASE
After installing the package for the first time i was able to interact with the service from the web ui, however i could not start node exporter due to this error
Feb 19 11:19:35 firewall php-fpm[58710]: /pkg_edit.php: ERROR: Could not open {/usr/local/etc/rc.conf.d/node_exporter} for writing

Message from node_exporter-1.0.1:
--
If upgrading from a version of node_exporter <0.15.0 you'll need to update any
custom command line flags that you may have set as it now requires a
double-dash (--flag) instead of a single dash (-flag).
The collector flags in 0.15.0 have now been replaced with individual boolean
flags and the -collector.procfs` and -collector.sysfs` flags have been renamed
to --path.procfs and --path.sysfs respectively.
>>> Cleaning up cache... done.
Success
Meanwhile in system.log (during the install)

The package will now not show under the services menu in the webui, however it can be started from the command line.

I note at least two issues remaining.
First, the config file is in /usr/local/etc/rc.conf.d/, but that directory doesn't exist by default on pfSense.
Second, I note that the textfile cronjob uses Python 2.7, but that's not a dependency of the package. The (pfSense-specific) interface-collector.py is pretty short and looks like it should work fine with Python 3.
