--- sort: 2 --- # Additional Scrape Configuration AdditionalScrapeConfigs is an additional way to add scrape targets in VMAgent CRD. There are two options for adding targets into VMAgent: inline configuration into CRD or defining it as a Kubernetes Secret. No validation happens during the creation of configuration. However, you must validate job specs, and it must follow job spec configuration. Please check [scrape_configs documentation](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/sd_configs.html#scrape_configs) as references. ## Inline Additional Scrape Configuration in VMAgent CRD You need to add scrape configuration directly to the vmagent spec.inlineScrapeConfig. It is raw text in YAML format. See example below ```yaml cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f - apiVersion: operator.victoriametrics.com/v1beta1 kind: VMAgent metadata: name: example-vmagent spec: serviceScrapeSelector: {} replicas: 1 serviceAccountName: vmagent inlineScrapeConfig: | - job_name: "prometheus" static_configs: - targets: ["localhost:9090"] remoteWrite: - url: "http://vmagent-example-vmsingle.default.svc:8429/api/v1/write" EOF ``` **Note**: Do not use passwords and tokens with inlineScrapeConfig use Secret instead of ## Define Additional Scrape Configuration as a Kubernetes Secret You need to define Kubernetes Secret with a key. The key is `prometheus-additional.yaml` in the example below ```yaml cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f - apiVersion: v1 kind: Secret metadata: name: additional-scrape-configs stringData: prometheus-additional.yaml: | - job_name: "prometheus" static_configs: - targets: ["localhost:9090"] EOF ``` After that, you need to specify the secret's name and key in VMAgent CRD in `additionalScrapeConfigs` section ```yaml cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f - apiVersion: operator.victoriametrics.com/v1beta1 kind: VMAgent metadata: name: example-vmagent spec: serviceScrapeSelector: {} replicas: 1 serviceAccountName: vmagent additionalScrapeConfigs: name: additional-scrape-configs key: prometheus-additional.yaml remoteWrite: - url: "http://vmagent-example-vmsingle.default.svc:8429/api/v1/write" EOF ``` **Note**: You can specify only one Secret in the VMAgent CRD configuration so use it for all additional scrape configurations.
