Prometheus Configuration File

To configure a Prometheus instance add a section like this to its configuration file:

     - url: https://pipeline.mezmo.com/v1/<YOUR ROUTE ID>
       bearer_token: <YOUR_PIPELINE_INGEST_KEY>

Kubernetes Operator

If you are running Prometheus within Kubernetes using the Kubernetes operator you can configure the instance with these commands, templating in the Bearer Token, the endpoint provided by the Mezmo Web App, and the Prometheus crd name:

kubectl -n monitoring create secret generic mz-prom-rw-token --from-literal=value=<TOKEN FROM APP>

cat <<'EOF' | kubectl patch prometheus -n <PROMETHEUS NAMESPACE> <YOUR PROMETHEUS CRD INSTANCE> -f -
spec:
  remoteWrite:

      credentials:
        key: value
        name: mz-prom-rw-token
    url: <ENDPOINT FROM APP>
