# Prometheus service discovery

# Supported service discovery configs

[vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html) and [single-node VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-scrape-prometheus-exporters-such-as-node-exporter)
supports the following Prometheus-compatible service discovery options for Prometheus-compatible scrape targets in the file pointed by `-promscrape.config` command-line flag:

* `azure_sd_configs` is for scraping the targets registered in [Azure Cloud](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/). See [these docs](#azure_sd_configs).

Note that the `refresh_interval` option isn't supported for these scrape configs. Use the corresponding `-promscrape.*CheckInterval`
command-line flag instead. For example, `-promscrape.consulSDCheckInterval=60s` sets `refresh_interval` for all the `consul_sd_configs`
entries to 60s. Run `vmagent -help` or `victoria-metrics -help` in order to see default values for the `-promscrape.*CheckInterval` flags.

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 VictoriaMetrics and `vmagent`.

The list of discovered Consul targets is refreshed at the interval, which can be configured via `-promscrape.consulSDCheckInterval` command-line flag.

If you have performance issues with `consul_sd_configs` on a large cluster, then consider using [consulagent_sd_configs](#consulagent_sd_configs) instead.

## consulagent_sd_configs

Consul Agent SD configuration allows retrieving scrape targets from [Consul Agent API](https://developer.hashicorp.com/consul/api-docs/agent/service).
When using the Agent API, only services registered in the locally running Consul Agent are discovered.
It is suitable for huge clusters for which using the [Catalog API](https://developer.hashicorp.com/consul/api-docs/catalog#list-services) would be too slow or resource intensive,
in other cases it is recommended to use [consul_sd_configs](#consul_sd_configs).

Configuration example:

```yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: consulagent
  consulagent_sd_configs:

    # server is an optional Consul Agent to connect to. By default, localhost:8500 is used
    #
  - server: "localhost:8500"

    # token is an optional Consul API token.
    # If the token isn't specified, then it is read from a file pointed by CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN_FILE
    # environment var or from the CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN environment var.
    #
    # token: "..."

    # datacenter is an optional Consul API datacenter.
    # If the datacenter isn't specified, then it is read from Consul server.
    # See https://www.consul.io/api-docs/agent#read-configuration

    # datacenter: "..."

    # namespace is an optional Consul namespace.
    # See https://developer.hashicorp.com/consul/docs/enterprise/namespaces
    # If the namespace isn't specified, then it is read from CONSUL_NAMESPACE environment var.
    #
    # namespace: "..."

The list of discovered DigitalOcean targets is refreshed at the interval, which can be configured via `-promscrape.digitaloceanSDCheckInterval` command-line flag.

## dns_sd_configs

DNS-based service discovery allows retrieving scrape targets from the specified DNS domain names.
These specified names are periodically queried to discover a list of targets with the interval
configured via `-promscrape.dnsSDCheckInterval` command-line flag.

Configuration example:

```yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: dns
  dns_sd_configs:

    # names must contain a list of DNS names to query.

    #
    # type: ...

    # port is a port number to use if the query type is not SRV.
    #
    # port: ...
```

Each discovered target has an [`__address__`](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/relabeling.html#how-to-modify-scrape-urls-in-targets) label set
to the `<addr>:<port>`, where `<addr>` is the discovered DNS address, while `<port>` is either the discovered port for SRV records or the port

    # Additional HTTP API client options can be specified here.
    # See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/sd_configs.html#http-api-client-options
```

One of the following roles can be configured to discover targets:

* `role: services`

  The `services` role discovers all Swarm services.

  Each discovered target has an [`__address__`](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/relabeling.html#how-to-modify-scrape-urls-in-targets) label set
  to `<ip>:<port>`, where `<ip>` is the endpoint's virtual IP, while the `<port>` is the published port of the service.
  If the service has multiple published ports, then multiple targets are generated - one per each port.
  If the service has no published ports, then the `<port>` is set to the `port` value obtained from `dockerswarm_sd_configs`.

  Available meta labels for `role: services` during [relabeling](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#relabeling):

  to `<ip>:<port>`, where the `<ip>` is the node IP, while the `<port>` is the published port of the task.
  If the task has multiple published ports, then multiple targets are generated - one per each port.
  If the task has no published ports, then the `<port>` is set to the `port` value obtained from `dockerswarm_sd_configs`.

    #   node: <boolean>

    # Additional HTTP API client options can be specified here.
    # See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/sd_configs.html#http-api-client-options
```

See [these examples](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/scrape_config_examples.html#kubernetes-target-discovery) on how to discover and scrape Kubernetes targets.

One of the following `role` types can be configured to discover targets:

* `role: node`

  The `role: node` discovers one target per cluster node.

  Each discovered target has an [`__address__`](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/relabeling.html#how-to-modify-scrape-urls-in-targets) label set
  to `<ip>:<port>`, where `<ip>` is to the first existing address of the Kubernetes node object in the address type order
  of `NodeInternalIP`, `NodeExternalIP`, `NodeLegacyHostIP` and `NodeHostName`,
  while `<port>` is the kubelet port on the given node.

  Available meta labels for `role: node` during [relabeling](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#relabeling):

  * `__meta_kubernetes_node_name`: The name of the node object.
  * `__meta_kubernetes_node_provider_id`: The cloud provider's name for the node object.
  * `__meta_kubernetes_node_label_<labelname>`: Each label from the node object.
  * `__meta_kubernetes_node_labelpresent_<labelname>`: "true" for each label from the node object.
  * `__meta_kubernetes_node_annotation_<annotationname>`: Each annotation from the node object.
  * `__meta_kubernetes_node_annotationpresent_<annotationname>`: "true" for each annotation from the node object.
  * `__meta_kubernetes_node_address_<address_type>`: The first address for each node address type, if it exists.

  In addition, the `instance` label for the node will be set to the node name as retrieved from the API server.

* `role: service`

  The `role: service` discovers Kubernetes services.

  Each discovered target has an [`__address__`](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/relabeling.html#how-to-modify-scrape-urls-in-targets) label set
  to `<service_name>.<namespace>:<port>`, where `<service_name>` is the service name, `<namespace>` is the service namespace
  and `<port>` is the service port.
  If the service has multiple ports, then multiple targets are discovered for the service - one per each port.

  This is generally useful for blackbox monitoring of a service. The target address will be set to the Kubernetes DNS name
  of the service and respective service port.

  Available meta labels for `role: service` during [relabeling](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#relabeling):

  * `__meta_kubernetes_namespace`: The namespace of the service object.

## kuma_sd_configs

Kuma service discovery config allows to fetch targets from the specified control plane `server` of [Kuma Service Mesh](https://kuma.io).

It discovers "monitoring assignments" based on Kuma Dataplane Proxies, 
via the [MADS (Monitoring Assignment Discovery Service)](https://kuma.io/docs/2.1.x/policies/traffic-metrics/#traffic-metrics) 
[xDS RESP API](http://envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-docs/xds_protocol).

Configuration example:

```yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: kuma

    # server must contain the URL of Kuma Control Plane's MADS xDS server.
    #
  - server: "http://localhost:5676"

    # client_id is an optional client ID to send to Kuma Control Plane.
    # The hostname of the server where vmagent runs is used if it isn't set.
    # If the hostname is empty, then "vmagent" string is used as client_id.

    # client_id: "..."

    # Additional HTTP API client options can be specified here.
    # See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/sd_configs.html#http-api-client-options
```

The `server` is queried periodically with the interval specified in `-promscrape.kumaSDCheckInterval` command-line flag.
Discovery errors are tracked in `promscrape_discovery_kuma_errors_total` metric.

Each discovered target has an [`__address__`](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/relabeling.html#how-to-modify-scrape-urls-in-targets) label set
to one of the targets returned by the http service.

The following meta labels are available on discovered targets during [relabeling](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#relabeling):

## scrape_configs

The `scrape_configs` section at file pointed by `-promscrape.config` command-line flag can contain [supported service discovery options](#supported-service-discovery-configs).
Additionally, it can contain the following options:

```yaml
scrape_configs:
  # job_name must contain value for `job` label, which is added
  # to all the metrics collected from the configured and discovered scrape targets.
  # See https://prometheus.io/docs/concepts/jobs_instances/ .
  #
- job_name: "..."

  # scrape_interval is an optional interval to scrape targets.
  # By default, the scrape_interval specified in `global` section is used.
  # See https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#configuration-file
  # If `global` section doesn't contain the `scrape_interval` option,
  # then one minute interval is used.
  # Example values:
  # - "30s" - 30 seconds
  # - "2m" - 2 minutes
  # The scrape_interval can be set on a per-target basis by specifying `__scrape_interval__`
  # label during target relabeling phase.
  # See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#relabeling
  #
  # scrape_interval: <duration>

  # scrape_timeout is an optional timeout when scraping the targets.
  # By default, the scrape_timeout specified in `global` section is used.
  # See https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#configuration-file
  # If `global` section doesn't contain the `scrape_timeout` option,
  # then 10 seconds interval is used.
  # Example values:
  # - "30s" - 30 seconds
  # - "2m" - 2 minutes
  # The `scrape_timeout` cannot exceed the `scrape_interval`.
  # The scrape_timeout can be set on a per-target basis by specifying `__scrape_timeout__`
  # label during target relabeling phase.
  # See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#relabeling
  #
  # scrape_timeout: <duration>

  # metrics_path is the path to fetch metrics from targets.
  # By default, metrics are fetched from "/metrics" path.
  #
  # metrics_path: "..."

  # honor_labels controls how to handle conflicts between labels that are
  # already present in scraped data and labels that would be attached
  # server-side "job" and "instance" labels, manually configured target
  # labels, labels generated by service discovery, etc.
  #
  # If honor_labels is set to "true", label conflicts are resolved by keeping label
  # values from the scraped data and ignoring the conflicting server-side labels.
  #
  # If honor_labels is set to "false", label conflicts are resolved by renaming
  # conflicting labels in the scraped data to "exported_<original-label>" (for
  # example "exported_instance", "exported_job") and then attaching server-side
  # labels.
  #
  # Setting honor_labels to "true" is useful for use cases such as federation and
  # scraping the Pushgateway, where all labels specified in the target should be
  # preserved.
  #
  # By default, honor_labels is set to false for security and consistency reasons.
  #
  # honor_labels: <boolean>
