discovery.lightsail
discovery.lightsail allows retrieving scrape targets from Amazon Lightsail instances. The private IP address is used by default, but may be changed to the public IP address with relabeling.
Usage
discovery.lightsail "<LABEL>" {
}Arguments
You can use the following arguments with discovery.lightsail:
| Name | Type | Description | Default | Required |

At most, one of the following can be provided:
authorizationblockbasic_authblockbearer_token_fileargument- `bearer_token argument
oauth2block
no_proxy can contain IPs, CIDR notations, and domain names. IP and domain names can contain port numbers.
proxy_url must be configured if no_proxy is configured.
proxy_from_environment uses the environment variables HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and NO_PROXY (or the lowercase versions thereof).
Requests use the proxy from the environment variable matching their scheme, unless excluded by NO_PROXY.
proxy_url and no_proxy must not be configured if proxy_from_environment is configured.
proxy_connect_header should only be configured if proxy_url or proxy_from_environment are configured.
Blocks
You can use the following blocks with discovery.lightsail:
| Block | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
authorization | Configure generic authorization to the endpoint. | no |
basic_auth | Configure basic_auth for authenticating to the endpoint. | no |
oauth2 | Configure OAuth 2.0 for authenticating to the endpoint. | no |
oauth2 > tls_config | Configure TLS settings for connecting to the endpoint. | no |
tls_config | Configure TLS settings for connecting to the endpoint. | no |
The > symbol indicates deeper levels of nesting.
For example, oauth2 > tls_config refers to a tls_config block defined inside an oauth2 block.
authorization
The authorization block configures generic authorization to the endpoint.
| Name | Type | Description | Default | Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
credentials_file | string | File containing the secret value. | no | |
credentials | secret | Secret value. | no | |
type | string | Authorization type, for example, “Bearer”. | no |
credential and credentials_file are mutually exclusive, and only one can be provided inside an authorization block.
Warning
Using
credentials_filecauses the file to be read on every outgoing request. Use thelocal.filecomponent with thecredentialsattribute instead to avoid unnecessary reads.
basic_auth
The basic_auth block configures basic authentication to the endpoint.
| Name | Type | Description | Default | Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
password_file | string | File containing the basic auth password. | no | |
password | secret | Basic auth password. | no | |
username | string | Basic auth username. | no |
password and password_file are mutually exclusive, and only one can be provided inside a basic_auth block.
Warning
Using
password_filecauses the file to be read on every outgoing request. Use thelocal.filecomponent with thepasswordattribute instead to avoid unnecessary reads.
oauth2
The oauth block configures OAuth 2.0 authentication to the endpoint.
| Name | Type | Description | Default | Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
client_id | string | OAuth2 client ID. | no | |
client_secret_file | string | File containing the OAuth2 client secret. | no | |
client_secret | secret | OAuth2 client secret. | no | |
endpoint_params | map(string) | Optional parameters to append to the token URL. | no | |
no_proxy | string | Comma-separated list of IP addresses, CIDR notations, and domain names to exclude from proxying. | no | |
proxy_connect_header | map(list(secret)) | Specifies headers to send to proxies during CONNECT requests. | no | |
proxy_from_environment | bool | Use the proxy URL indicated by environment variables. | false | no |
proxy_url | string | HTTP proxy to send requests through. | no | |
scopes | list(string) | List of scopes to authenticate with. | no | |
token_url | string | URL to fetch the token from. | no |
client_secret and client_secret_file are mutually exclusive, and only one can be provided inside an oauth2 block.
Warning
Using
client_secret_filecauses the file to be read on every outgoing request. Use thelocal.filecomponent with theclient_secretattribute instead to avoid unnecessary reads.
The oauth2 block may also contain a separate tls_config sub-block.
no_proxy can contain IPs, CIDR notations, and domain names. IP and domain names can contain port numbers.
proxy_url must be configured if no_proxy is configured.
proxy_from_environment uses the environment variables HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and NO_PROXY (or the lowercase versions thereof).
Requests use the proxy from the environment variable matching their scheme, unless excluded by NO_PROXY.
proxy_url and no_proxy must not be configured if proxy_from_environment is configured.
proxy_connect_header should only be configured if proxy_url or proxy_from_environment are configured.
tls_config
The tls_config block configures TLS settings for connecting to the endpoint.

server_name | string | ServerName extension to indicate the name of the server. | no |
The following pairs of arguments are mutually exclusive and can’t both be set simultaneously:
ca_pemandca_filecert_pemandcert_filekey_pemandkey_file
When configuring client authentication, both the client certificate (using cert_pem or cert_file) and the client key (using key_pem or key_file) must be provided.
When min_version isn’t provided, the minimum acceptable TLS version is inherited from Go’s default minimum version, TLS 1.2.
If min_version is provided, it must be set to one of the following strings:
"TLS10"(TLS 1.0)"TLS11"(TLS 1.1)"TLS12"(TLS 1.2)"TLS13"(TLS 1.3)
Exported fields
The following fields are exported and can be referenced by other components:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
targets | list(map(string)) | The set of discovered Lightsail targets. |
Each target includes the following labels:
__meta_lightsail_availability_zone: The availability zone in which the instance is running.__meta_lightsail_blueprint_id: The Lightsail blueprint ID.__meta_lightsail_bundle_id: The Lightsail bundle ID.__meta_lightsail_instance_name: The name of the Lightsail instance.__meta_lightsail_instance_state: The state of the Lightsail instance.__meta_lightsail_instance_support_code: The support code of the Lightsail instance.__meta_lightsail_ipv6_addresses: Comma-separated list of IPv6 addresses assigned to the instance’s network interfaces, if present.__meta_lightsail_private_ip: The private IP address of the instance.__meta_lightsail_public_ip: The public IP address of the instance, if available.__meta_lightsail_region: The region of the instance.__meta_lightsail_tag_<tagkey>: Each tag value of the instance.
Component health
discovery.lightsail is only reported as unhealthy when given an invalid configuration.
In those cases, exported fields retain their last healthy values.
Debug information
discovery.lightsail doesn’t expose any component-specific debug information.
Debug metrics
discovery.lightsail doesn’t expose any component-specific debug metrics.
Example
discovery.lightsail "lightsail" {
region = "us-east-1"
}
prometheus.scrape "demo" {
targets = discovery.lightsail.lightsail.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 theremote_writeAPI.<PASSWORD>: The password to use for authentication to theremote_writeAPI.
