Send Metrics to Grafana Cloud

Question

How to Collect your own Premetheus exporter metrics to Grafana Cloud with Grafana agent?

Install Grafana Agent

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings/
wget -q -O - https://apt.grafana.com/gpg.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/grafana.gpg > /dev/null
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/grafana.gpg] https://apt.grafana.com stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grafana.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grafana-agent

add scrape_configs

Assume you have grafana agent installed on your server and your own Premetheus exporter run on 127.0.0.1:5000/metrics, edit /etc/grafana-agent.yaml and add the following configs after scrape_configs

    scrape_configs:
          - job_name: 'My-Own-Metrics'
            static_configs:
            - targets: ['127.0.0.1:5000']

Then restart grafana agent, you’ll see your own metrics in grafana cloud.

sudo systemctl status grafana-agent.service
