VictoriaMetrics Exporter¶

VictoriaMetrics Install

The information below describes how to setup Harvest's VictoriaMetrics exporter. If you need help installing or setting up VictoriaMetrics, check out their documentation.

Overview¶

The VictoriaMetrics Exporter will format metrics into Prometheus exposition format. The Exporter is compatible with VictoriaMetrics v1.129.1.

Parameters¶

Overview of all parameters is provided below. Only one of url or addr should be provided and at least one of them is required. If addr is specified, it should be a valid TCP address or hostname of the VictoriaMetrics server and should not include the scheme and port.

addr only works with HTTP. If you need to use HTTPS, you should use url instead.

If url is specified, you must add all arguments to the url. Harvest will do no additional processing and use exactly what you specify. ( e.g. url: http://localhost:8428/api/v1/import/prometheus. When using url, the addr and port field will be ignored.

parameter	type	description	default
`url`	string	URL of the database, format: `SCHEME://HOST[:PORT]`
`addr`	string	address of the database, format: `HOST` (HTTP only)
`port`	int, optional	port of the database	`8086`
`client_timeout`	int, optional	client timeout in seconds	`5`
