cert_pem or cert_file) and the client key (using key_pem or key_file)
must be provided.
When min_version is not 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 targets discovered from Swarm. |
Roles
The role attribute decides the role of the targets to retrieve.
services
The services role discovers all Swarm services and exposes their ports as targets.
For each published port of a service, a single target is generated.
If a service has no published ports, a target per service is created using the port attribute defined in the arguments.

Component health
discovery.dockerswarm is only reported as unhealthy when given an invalid configuration.
In those cases, exported fields retain their last healthy values.
Debug information
discovery.dockerswarm doesn’t expose any component-specific debug information.
Debug metrics
discovery.dockerswarm doesn’t expose any component-specific debug metrics.
Example
This example discovers targets from Docker Swarm tasks:
discovery.dockerswarm "example" {
host = "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
role = "tasks"
filter {
name = "id"
values = ["0kzzo1i0y4jz6027t0k7aezc7"]
}
filter {
name = "desired-state"
values = ["running", "accepted"]
}
}
prometheus.scrape "demo" {
targets = discovery.dockerswarm.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 theremote_writeAPI.<PASSWORD>: The password to use for authentication to theremote_writeAPI.
