Prometheus-Compatible Metrics Endpoints

Prometheus-Compatible Metrics Endpoints

StackGen Agent can be configured to collect metrics from any HTTP endpoint that exposes metrics in a Prometheus-compatible format.

Prerequisites​

  • StackGen Agent should be able to access the HTTP Endpoint that is emitting the metrics.

Configuration​

Kubernetes Agent​

Add the following YAML snippet to the agent's values.yaml and run the agent based on these instructions.

observe-agent:
  victoria-metrics-agent:
    extraScrapeConfigs:
      - job_name: 'my_service_job'
        static_configs:
          - targets: ['http://example.com/metrics']
warning

If you already have an scrape_configs block defined in victoria-metrics-agent in your values.yaml, you can simply append the job to the end of the existing config

Please ensure that the URL/target that is being configured is emitting the metrics by navigating to the URL/target in the browser.

Standalone Agent​

Create a new file in /etc/opsverse/targets/ named your-service-name.json and add the following details into it:

[
  {
    "labels": {
      "job": "my_service_job"
    },
    "targets": [
      "http://example.com/metrics"
    ]
  }
]

Save this file and restart the agent and StackGen agent will start scraping the new endpoint as well.
