Caution

Grafana Alloy is the new name for our distribution of the OTel collector. Grafana Agent has been deprecated and is in Long-Term Support (LTS) through October 31, 2025. Grafana Agent will reach an End-of-Life (EOL) on November 1, 2025. Read more about why we recommend migrating to Grafana Alloy.
Open source

discovery.ovhcloud

discovery.ovhcloud discovers scrape targets from OVHcloud’s dedicated servers and VPS using their API. Grafana Agent will periodically check the REST endpoint and create a target for every discovered server. The public IPv4 address will be used by default - if there’s none, the IPv6 address will be used. This may be changed via relabeling with discovery.relabel. For OVHcloud’s public cloud instances you can use discovery.openstack.

Usage

river
discovery.ovhcloud "LABEL" {
    application_key    = APPLICATION_KEY
    application_secret = APPLICATION_SECRET
    consumer_key       = CONSUMER_KEY
    service            = SERVICE
}

Arguments

The following arguments are supported:

NameTypeDescriptionDefaultRequired
application_keystringAPI application key.yes
application_secretsecretAPI application secret.yes
consumer_keysecretAPI consumer key.yes
endpointstringAPI endpoint.“ovh-eu”no
refresh_intervaldurationRefresh interval to re-read the resources list.“60s”no

endpoint must be one of the supported API endpoints.

service must be either vps or dedicated_server.

Exported fields

Component health

discovery.ovhcloud is only reported as unhealthy when given an invalid configuration. In those cases, exported fields retain their last healthy values.

Debug information

discovery.ovhcloud does not expose any component-specific debug information.

Debug metrics

discovery.ovhcloud does not expose any component-specific debug metrics.

Example

river
discovery.ovhcloud "example" {
	application_key    = APPLICATION_KEY
	application_secret = APPLICATION_SECRET
	consumer_key       = CONSUMER_KEY
	service            = SERVICE
}

prometheus.scrape "demo" {
	targets    = discovery.ovhcloud.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
		}
	}
}

Replace the following:

  • APPLICATION_KEY: The OVHcloud API application key.
  • APPLICATION_SECRET: The OVHcloud API application secret.
  • CONSUMER_KEY: The OVHcloud API consumer key.
  • SERVICE: The OVHcloud service of the targets to retrieve.
  • PROMETHEUS_REMOTE_WRITE_URL: The URL of the Prometheus remote_write-compatible server to send metrics to.
  • USERNAME: The username to use for authentication to the remote_write API.
  • PASSWORD: The password to use for authentication to the remote_write API.
