02 Instances

Dynamic configuration allows multiple prometheus instances to be loaded with a parent metric. This uses the same agent-1 and server-1 yml from 01.

docker run -v ${PWD}/:/etc/grafana grafana/agentctl:latest template-parse file:///etc/grafana/02_config.yml

Dynamic Configuration

Tells the Grafana Agent where to load files from.

Dynamic Configuration will find the first file matching pattern metrics-*.yml and load that as the base. You can only have one metrics template.

configs:
  - name: default
global:
  scrape_interval: 60s
  scrape_timeout: 20s
wal_directory: /tmp/grafana-agent-wal

You can have any number of metrics_instances and they are added to any existing metrics instances defined previously.

name: instance1
scrape_configs:
  - job_name: instance1_job
    static_configs:
      - targets:
          - localhost:4000

name: instance2
scrape_configs:
  - job_name: instance2_job
    static_configs:
      - targets:
          - localhost:5555

In the above you will see the final.yml includes all the instance configurations
