Example

This example discovers targets from a Nomad server:

Alloy Copy

discovery.nomad "example" {
}

prometheus.scrape "demo" {
  targets    = discovery.nomad.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.
