Example
The following example uses a prometheus.scrape component to collect metrics from prometheus.exporter.self:
prometheus.exporter.self "example" {}
// Configure a prometheus.scrape component to collect Alloy metrics.
prometheus.scrape "demo" {
targets = prometheus.exporter.self.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 Prometheusremote_writecompatible 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.
