Monitor Apache ServiceComb Service-Center with Prometheus and Grafana Cloud

The open source project Apache ServiceComb Service-Center from The Apache Software Foundation provides a Prometheus exporter so that you can scrape metrics from your server at any one given point in time. To get scalable, long-term metrics storage, configure your Prometheus instance to push scraped samples to compatible remote storage endpoints such as Grafana Cloud’s serverless Mimir database using using remote_write. View the example below for how to configure remote_write in the prometheus.yml config file for Apache ServiceComb Service-Center.

Prometheus Configuration for Apache ServiceComb Service-Center

The prometheus.yml config file for Apache ServiceComb Service-Center can be found at the following location:

https://github.com/apache/servicecomb-service-center/tree/master/examples/infrastructures/docker/prometheus.yml

Push metrics from Apache ServiceComb Service-Center to Grafana Cloud using remote_write:

Below is an example remote_write code snippet you will need to add to your prometheus.yml config file in order to forward your metrics from your local Prometheus instance to remote storage with Grafana Cloud:

remote_write:
- url: <Your Metrics instance remote_write endpoint>
  basic_auth:
    username: <Your Metrics instance ID>
    password: <Your Grafana.com API Key>

You can find the https://...grafana.net/api/prom/push URL, username, and password for your metrics endpoint in the Cloud Portal. Click ‘Connections’ and select ‘Hosted Prometheus metrics’. The details display on the right. Need an account? Create a new Grafana Cloud account for free.

Learn more about the available remote_write configuration parameters from the Prometheus.io Configuration Docs.

Control the number of metric data points pushed to Grafana Cloud:

Every Grafana Cloud account includes 10,000 active series metric storage, free-forever.

Grafana Cloud provides additional 1 data point per minute (DPM) resolution for $8 per 1,000 series. You can adjust the total DPM you push to Grafana Cloud by adjusting the scrape_interval settings in your prometheus.yml config file. Learn more about how to adjust your Prometheus scrape interval.
