Documentation Grafana Agent Flow mode Reference Components reference prometheus.exporter.memcached

prometheus.exporter.memcached

The prometheus.exporter.memcached component embeds memcached_exporter for collecting metrics from a Memcached server.

Usage

river Copy

prometheus.exporter.memcached "LABEL" {
}

Arguments

The following arguments are supported:

Blocks

The prometheus.exporter.memcached 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.

For example, the targets can either be passed to a discovery.relabel component to rewrite the targets’ label sets, or to a prometheus.scrape component that collects the exposed metrics.

The exported targets will use the configured in-memory traffic address specified by the run command.

Component health

prometheus.exporter.memcached is only reported as unhealthy if given an invalid configuration. In those cases, exported fields retain their last healthy values.

Debug information

prometheus.exporter.memcached does not expose any component-specific debug information.

Debug metrics

prometheus.exporter.memcached does not expose any component-specific debug metrics.

Example

This example uses a prometheus.exporter.memcached component to collect metrics from a Memcached server running locally, and scrapes the metrics using a prometheus.scrape component:

river Copy

prometheus.exporter.memcached "example" {
  address = "localhost:13321"
  timeout = "5s"
}

prometheus.scrape "example" {
  targets    = [prometheus.exporter.memcached.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:

• 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.
