using vmagent to collect victoriametrics stats
vmagent is part of victoriametrics, and is a lightweight prometheus scraper. create a basic prometheus.yml file that defines a host to scrape, in this example it's using SSL and basic auth global: scrape_interval: 15s evaluation_interval: 15s scrape_configs: - job_name: vmetrics static_configs: - targets: - host.to.scrape:443 scheme: https basic_auth: username: user1 password: password1 then run vmagent to use this and send to a victoriametrics node to store the metrics it scrapes ./vmagent-prod -httpListenAddr 127.0.0.1:8240 -remoteWrite.basicAuth.username user2 -remoteWrite.basicAuth.password 'password2' -remoteWrite.url=https://host.to.send.to:443/api/v1/write -promscrape.config=prometheus.dsch.yml if using the cluster version, the url in the command line might be -remoteWrite.url=https://host.to.send.to:443/insert/0/prometheus/api/v1/write
