After successful first time saving the exporter we end up on the screen like this:

At first the exporter is not initialized and we need to wait until the exporter gets initialized before we can configure it further.

Initialization is done by the cron and it takes approx 10 minutes before the initialization is complete.


You can click on the "Search" button to refresh the list of exporters.


When the cron picks the exporter up, then at first it will get locked (Locked? = Yes) and once it has completed the initialization process, then it will become unlocked and Initialized.


Now is the good time to make the second configuration.
