Reporting Prometheus Monitoring Data to a Third-Party Monitoring Platform

Application Scenarios

Step 1: Obtain the Data Reporting Address

• If the Prometheus instance for receiving data is provided by a third-party vendor, view the Remote Write URL on the vendor's console.
• If the Prometheus instance for receiving data is an on-premises one, the Remote Write URL is https:// {prometheus_addr} /api/v1/write, where {prometheus_addr} indicates the IP address and port number for external access.

Step 2: Obtain the Authentication Mode

• For the third-party Prometheus instance, go to the vendor's console to view the token or account password used for authorized access.
• For the on-premises Prometheus instance, perform the following steps to obtain a token:
  1. If this Prometheus instance is deployed in a Kubernetes cluster, view the token in the corresponding container. If this Prometheus instance is deployed on a VM, skip this step.

     kubectl exec -ti -n monitoring prometheus-server-0 -- sh
     
     

     Replace the variables in the command as needed:

     • monitoring: indicates the namespace where a Prometheus pod is in.
     • prometheus-server-0: indicates the name of a Prometheus pod.
  2. Check the location of the configuration file.

     ps -aux | grep prometheus
     
     

     Information similar to the following is displayed:

     

  3. View and record the token information in prometheus.env.yaml.

     cat /etc/prometheus/config_out/prometheus.env.yaml
     
     

     

Step 3: Connect to a Third-Party Monitoring Platform

1. Log in to the CCE console, click the name of a cluster with the Cloud Native Cluster Monitoring add-on installed to access the cluster console.
2. In the navigation pane, choose Add-ons, locate the Cloud Native Cluster Monitoring add-on, and click Edit.
3. Enable Report Monitoring Data to a Third-Party Platform so that the data collected by Cloud Native Cluster Monitoring can be reported to a third-party monitoring platform.
   • Source Address: Remote Write URL obtained in step 1, for example, https://127.0.0.1:9090/api/v1/write.
   • Authentication method: Select the authentication method supported by the third-party monitoring platform in step 2.
     • Basic Auth: Enter the user name and password.
     • Bearer Token: Enter the identity credential (token).

4. After the modification is complete, click OK.

Step 4: Check the Data Sending and Receiving Statuses
