Prometheus remote write exporting connector

The Prometheus remote write exporting connector uses the exporting engine to send Netdata metrics to your choice of more than 20 external storage providers for long-term archiving and further analysis.

Prerequisites

To use the Prometheus remote write API with storage providers, install protobuf and snappy libraries. Next, re-install Netdata from the source, which detects that the required libraries and utilities are now available.

Configuration

To enable data exporting to a storage provider using the Prometheus remote write API, run ./edit-config exporting.conf in the Netdata configuration directory and set the following options:

[remote_write:my_instance]
    enabled = yes
    destination = example.domain:example_port
    remote write URL path = /receive

remote write URL path is used to set an endpoint path for the remote write protocol. The default value is /receive. For example, if your endpoint is http://example.domain:example_port/storage/read:

    destination = example.domain:example_port
    remote write URL path = /storage/read

buffered and lost dimensions in the Netdata Exporting Connector Data Size operation monitoring chart estimate uncompressed buffer size on failures.

Notes

The remote write exporting connector does not support buffer on failures
