Caution
Grafana Agent has reached End-of-Life (EOL) on November 1, 2025. Agent is no longer receiving vendor support and will no longer receive security or bug fixes. Current users of Agent Static mode, Agent Flow mode, and Agent Operator should proceed with migrating to Grafana Alloy. If you have already migrated to Alloy, no further action is required. Read more about why we recommend migrating to Grafana Alloy.

Each element in the path list can either point to a single service, or to the
root of a tree of services.
Blocks
The discovery.nerve component does not support any blocks, and is configured
fully through arguments.
Exported fields
The following fields are exported and can be referenced by other components:

paths = ["/monitoring"]
timeout = "1m"
}
prometheus.scrape "demo" {
targets = discovery.nerve.example.targets
forward_to = [prometheus.remote_write.demo.receiver]
}
prometheus.remote_write "demo" {
endpoint {
url = PROMETHEUS_REMOTE_WRITE_URL
basic_auth {
username = USERNAME
password = PASSWORD
