`vmagent` should be restarted in order to update config options set via command-line args.
`vmagent` supports multiple approaches for reloading configs from updated config files such as `-promscrape.config`, `-remoteWrite.relabelConfig` and `-remoteWrite.urlRelabelConfig`:
* Sending `SUGHUP` signal to `vmagent` process:
```bash
kill -SIGHUP `pidof vmagent`
```
* Sending HTTP request to `http://vmagent:8429/-/reload` endpoint.
There is also `-promscrape.configCheckInterval` command-line option, which can be used for automatic reloading configs from updated `-promscrape.config` file.
If a single remote storage instance temporarily is out of service, then the collected data remains available in another remote storage instance.
`vmagent` buffers the collected data in files at `-remoteWrite.tmpDataPath` until the remote storage becomes available again and then it sends the buffered data to the remote storage in order to prevent data gaps.
which is applied independently for each configured `-remoteWrite.url` destination. For example, it is possible to replicate or split
data among long-term remote storage, short-term remote storage and a real-time analytical system [built on top of Kafka](https://github.com/Telefonica/prometheus-kafka-adapter).
Note that each destination can receive it's own subset of the collected data due to per-destination relabeling via `-remoteWrite.urlRelabelConfig`.
While `vmagent` can accept data in several supported protocols (OpenTSDB, Influx, Prometheus, Graphite) and scrape data from various targets, writes are always peformed in Promethes remote_write protocol. Therefore for the [clustered version](https://victoriametrics.github.io/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html), `-remoteWrite.url` the command-line flag should be configured as `<schema>://<vminsert-host>:8480/insert/<customer-id>/prometheus/api/v1/write`
All other sections are ignored, including the [remote_write](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#remote_write) section.
Use `-remoteWrite.*` command-line flag instead for configuring remote write settings.
The following scrape types in [scrape_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#scrape_config) section are supported:
*`static_configs` - is for scraping statically defined targets. See [these docs](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#static_config) for details.
*`file_sd_configs` - is for scraping targets defined in external files (aka file-based service discover).
See [these docs](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#file_sd_config) for details
Please file feature requests to [our issue tracker](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues) if you need other service discovery mechanisms to be supported by `vmagent`.
*`disable_compression: true` - to disable response compression on a per-job basis. By default `vmagent` requests compressed responses from scrape targets
to save network bandwidth.
*`disable_keepalive: true` - to disable [HTTP keep-alive connections](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_persistent_connection) on a per-job basis.
By default, `vmagent` uses keep-alive connections to scrape targets to reduce overhead on connection re-establishing.
The file pointed by `-promscrape.config` may contain `%{ENV_VAR}` placeholders which are substituted by the corresponding `ENV_VAR` environment variable values.
* The `global -> external_labels` section in `-promscrape.config` file. These labels are added only to metrics scraped from targets configured in the `-promscrape.config` file.
* The `-remoteWrite.label` command-line flag. These labels are added to all the collected metrics before sending them to `-remoteWrite.url`.
*`replace_all`: replaces all of the occurences of `regex` in the values of `source_labels` with the `replacement` and stores the results in the `target_label`.
*`labelmap_all`: replaces all of the occurences of `regex` in all the label names with the `replacement`.
*`keep_if_equal`: keeps the entry if all the label values from `source_labels` are equal.
* At the `scrape_config -> relabel_configs` section in `-promscrape.config` file. This relabeling is applied to target labels.
* At the `scrape_config -> metric_relabel_configs` section in `-promscrape.config` file. This relabeling is applied to all the scraped metrics in the given `scrape_config`.
* At the `-remoteWrite.relabelConfig` file. This relabeling is aplied to all the collected metrics before sending them to remote storage.
* At the `-remoteWrite.urlRelabelConfig` files. This relabeling is applied to metrics before sending them to the corresponding `-remoteWrite.url`.
* [How to use Relabeling in Prometheus and VictoriaMetrics](https://valyala.medium.com/how-to-use-relabeling-in-prometheus-and-victoriametrics-8b90fc22c4b2)
The number of `vmagent` instances in the cluster must be passed to `-promscrape.cluster.membersCount` command-line flag. For example, the following commands
spread scrape targets among a cluster of two `vmagent` instances:
By default each scrape target is scraped only by a single `vmagent` instance in the cluster. If there is a need for replicating scrape targets among multiple `vmagent` instances,
then `-promscrape.cluster.replicationFactor` command-line flag must be set to the desired number of replicas. For example, the following commands
start a cluster of three `vmagent` instances, where each target is scraped by two `vmagent` instances:
`vmagent` supports scraping targets via http and https proxies. Proxy address must be specified in `proxy_url` option. For example, the following scrape config instructs
target scraping via https proxy at `https://proxy-addr:1234`:
```yml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: foo
proxy_url: https://proxy-addr:1234
```
Proxy can be configured with the following optional settings:
*`proxy_bearer_token` and `proxy_bearer_token_file` for Bearer token authorization
*`proxy_basic_auth` for Basic authorization. See [these docs](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#scrape_config).
*`proxy_tls_config` for TLS config. See [these docs](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#tls_config).
`vmagent` exports various metrics in Prometheus exposition format at `http://vmagent-host:8429/metrics` page. We recommend setting up regular scraping of this page
either through `vmagent` itself or by Prometheus so that the exported metrics may be analyzed later.
This information may be useful for debugging target relabeling.
*`http://vmagent-host:8429/api/v1/targets`. This handler returns data compatible with [the corresponding page from Prometheus API](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#targets).
*`http://vmagent-host:8429/ready`. This handler returns http 200 status code when `vmagent` finishes it's initialization for all service_discovery configs.
It may be useful to perform `vmagent` rolling update without any scrape loss.
by passing `-promscrape.suppressScrapeErrors` command-line flag to `vmagent`. The most recent scrape error per each target can be observed at `http://vmagent-host:8429/targets`
This page contains original labels for targets dropped during relabeling (see "droppedTargets" section in the page output). By default the `-promscrape.maxDroppedTargets` targets are shown here. If your setup drops more targets during relabeling, then increase `-promscrape.maxDroppedTargets` command-line flag value to see all the dropped targets. Note that tracking each dropped target requires up to 10Kb of RAM. Therefore big values for `-promscrape.maxDroppedTargets` may result in increased memory usage if a big number of scrape targets are dropped during relabeling.
* If `vmagent` scrapes a big number of targets then the `-promscrape.dropOriginalLabels` command-line option may be passed to `vmagent` in order to reduce memory usage.
This option drops `"discoveredLabels"` and `"droppedTargets"` lists at `/api/v1/targets` page, which may result in reduced debuggability for improperly configured per-target relabeling.
* If `vmagent` scrapes targets with millions of metrics per target (for example, when scraping [federation endpoints](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/federation/)),
we recommend enabling `stream parsing mode` in order to reduce memory usage during scraping. This mode may be enabled either globally for all of the scrape targets
Note that `sample_limit` option doesn't work if stream parsing is enabled because the parsed data is pushed to remote storage as soon as it is parsed. Therefore the `sample_limit` option
* We recommend you increase `-remoteWrite.queues` if `vmagent_remotewrite_pending_data_bytes` metric exported at `http://vmagent-host:8429/metrics` page grows constantly.
* If you see gaps in the data pushed by `vmagent` to remote storage when `-remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL` is set, try increasing `-remoteWrite.queues`.
Such gaps may appear because `vmagent` cannot keep up with sending the collected data to remote storage. Therefore it starts dropping the buffered data
* By default `vmagent` evenly spreads scrape load in time. If a particular scrape target must be scraped at specific offset, then `scrape_offset` option must be used.
For example, the following config instructs `vmagent` to scrape the target at 10 seconds of every minute:
* If you see `skipping duplicate scrape target with identical labels` errors when scraping Kubernetes pods, then it is likely these pods listen to multiple ports
or they use an init container. These errors can either be fixed or suppressed with the `-promscrape.suppressDuplicateScrapeTargetErrors` command-line flag.
See the available options below if you prefer fixing the root cause of the error:
by setting it via `<ROOT_IMAGE>` environment variable. For example, the following command builds the image on top of [scratch](https://hub.docker.com/_/scratch) image:
`vmagent` can be fine-tuned with various command-line flags. Run `./vmagent -help` in order to see the full list of these flags with their desciptions and default values:
See the docs at https://victoriametrics.github.io/vmagent.html .

Allowed size of system memory VictoriaMetrics caches may occupy. This option overrides -memory.allowedPercent if set to non-zero value. Too low value may increase cache miss rate, which usually results in higher CPU and disk IO usage. Too high value may evict too much data from OS page cache, which will result in higher disk IO usage
Allowed percent of system memory VictoriaMetrics caches may occupy. See also -memory.allowedBytes. Too low value may increase cache miss rate, which usually results in higher CPU and disk IO usage. Too high value may evict too much data from OS page cache, which will result in higher disk IO usage (default 60)

Supports array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
The maximum file-based buffer size in bytes at -remoteWrite.tmpDataPath for each -remoteWrite.url. When buffer size reaches the configured maximum, then old data is dropped when adding new data to the buffer. Buffered data is stored in ~500MB chunks, so the minimum practical value for this flag is 500000000. Disk usage is unlimited if the value is set to 0
Optional proxy URL for writing data to -remoteWrite.url. Supported proxies: http, https, socks5. Example: -remoteWrite.proxyURL=socks5://proxy:1234

Round metric values to this number of decimal digits after the point before writing them to remote storage. Examples: -remoteWrite.roundDigits=2 would round 1.236 to 1.24, while -remoteWrite.roundDigits=-1 would round 126.78 to 130. By default digits rounding is disabled. Set it to 100 for disabling it for a particular remote storage. This option may be used for improving data compression for the stored metrics
Supports array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
-remoteWrite.sendTimeout array
Timeout for sending a single block of data to -remoteWrite.url
Supports array of values separated by comma or specified via multiple flags.
