Prometheus Receiver

Receives metric data in Prometheus format. See the Design for additional information on this receiver.

This receiver is a drop-in replacement for getting Prometheus to scrape your services. It supports the full set of Prometheus configuration, including service discovery. Just like you would write in a YAML configuration file before starting Prometheus, such as with:

prometheus --config.file=prom.yaml

You can copy and paste that same configuration under section

receivers:
  prometheus:
    config:

For example:

receivers:
    prometheus:
      config:
        scrape_configs:
          - job_name: 'otel-collector'
            scrape_interval: 5s
            static_configs:
              - targets: ['0.0.0.0:8888']
          - job_name: k8s
            kubernetes_sd_configs:
            - role: pod
            relabel_configs:
            - source_labels: [__meta_kubernetes_pod_annotation_prometheus_io_scrape]
              regex: "true"
              action: keep
            metric_relabel_configs:
            - source_labels: [__name__]
              regex: "(request_duration_seconds.*|response_duration_seconds.*)"
              action: keep

Include Filter

Include Filter provides ability to filter scraping metrics per target. If a filter is specified for a target then only those metrics which exactly matches one of the metrics specified in the Include Filter list will be scraped. Rest of the metrics from the targets will be dropped.

Syntax

• Endpoint should be double quoted.
• Metrics should be specified in form of a list.

Example

receivers:
    prometheus:
      include_filter: {
        "0.0.0.0:9777" : [http/server/server_latency, custom_metric1],
        "0.0.0.0:9778" : [http/client/roundtrip_latency],
      }
      config:
        scrape_configs:
          ...

The full list of settings exposed for this receiver are documented here with detailed sample configurations here.
