Prometheus Scrape Job Relabel Configuration

[tzyifeng]

In the previous pure-exporter, there is relabel configuration to support multiple targets.

See below:
relabel_configs:

- source_labels: [__address__]
  target_label: __param_endpoint

- source_labels: [__pure_apitoken]
  target_label: __param_apitoken

- source_labels: [__address__]
  target_label: instance

- target_label: __address__
  replacement: [xxxxx] # CHANGE THIS (pure-exporter address)

In this new openmetrics exporter, what will the configuration looks like? looks like __param_apitoken is not supported anymore.

There was a shift in Prometheus standards which required us make the change in order for the exporter to be accepted. The main reason was to avoid passing the API tokens as part of the URL.

To be more secure means the prometheus.yml config is much lengthier as we need to declare it for each metric endpoint.

Here is an example of how to configure prometheus.yml with the current exporter:
