## gce_sd_configs

GCE SD configuration allows retrieving scrape targets from [GCP GCE instances](https://cloud.google.com/compute).

Configuration example:

```yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: gce
  gce_sd_configs:
    # project is an optional GCE project where targets must be discovered.
    # By default the local project is used.
  - project: "..."

    # zone is an optional zone where targets must be discovered.
    # By default the local zone is used.
    # If zone equals to '*', then targets in all the zones for the given project are discovered.
    # The zone may contain a list of zones: zone["us-east1-a", "us-east1-b"]
    # zone: "..."

    # filter is an optional filter for the instance list.
    # See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/latest/instances/list
    # filter: "..."

    # port is an optional port to scrape metrics from.
    # By default port 80 is used.
    # port: ...

    # tag_separator is an optional separator for tags in `__meta_gce_tags` label.
    # By default "," is used.
    # tag_separator: "..."
```

Credentials are discovered by looking in the following places, preferring the first location found:

1. a JSON file specified by the `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` environment variable
2. a JSON file in the well-known path `$HOME/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json`
3. fetched from the GCE metadata server

## http_sd_configs

HTTP-based service discovery fetches targets from the specified `url`.

Configuration example:

```yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: http
  http_sd_configs:
    # url must contain the URL from which the targets are fetched.
  - url: "http://..."

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

The service at `url` must return JSON response in the following format:

```json
[
  {
    "targets": [ "<host>", ... ],
    "labels": {
      "<labelname>": "<labelvalue>",
      ...
    }
  },
  ...
]
```

The `url` is queried periodically with the interval specified in `-promscrape.httpSDCheckInterval` command-line flag.
Discovery errors are tracked in `promscrape_discovery_http_errors_total` metric.

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

* `__meta_url`: the URL from which the target was extracted

## 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 sepcified 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.
  #
