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.

export block
export is an optional configuration block used to specify an emitted value of
a Module. export blocks must be given a label which determine the
name of the export.
The export block may not be specified in the main configuration file given
to Grafana Agent Flow.
Example
export "ARGUMENT_NAME" {
value = ARGUMENT_VALUE
}Arguments
The following arguments are supported:
The value argument determines what the value of the export will be. To expose
an exported field of another component to the module loader, set value to an
expression which references that exported value.
Exported fields
The export block does not export any fields.
Example
This example creates a module where the output of discovering Kubernetes pods and nodes are exposed to the module loader:
discovery.kubernetes "pods" {
role = "pod"
}
discovery.kubernetes "nodes" {
role = "nodes"
}
export "kubernetes_resources" {
value = concat(
discovery.kubernetes.pods.targets,
discovery.kubernetes.nodes.targets,
)
}
