Prometheus metrics config examples

Many open source projects provide Prometheus exporters so that you can scrape metrics from your application at any given point in time. Typically, the Prometheus metrics collector config file will specify how frequently to collect your metrics, known as the scrape_config, plus the remote endpoint and authentication parameters for reliably storing the metrics, available under remote_write. The Prometheus config file is customarily named prometheus.yml.

To get scalable Prometheus metrics storage, push scraped samples to compatible remote storage endpoints. Popular methods for pushing metrics to Grafana Cloud include: Agentless Metrics Endpoint Scrape Jobs, Grafana Agent Scrape Jobs, or Prometheus remote write.
