The vsphere_config
block configures the vmware_exporter
integration, an embedded
version of vmware_exporter
, configured
to collect vSphere metrics. This integration is considered beta.
Configuration reference:
yaml
autoscrape:
# Enables autoscrape of integrations.
[enable: <boolean> | default = true]
# Specifies the metrics instance name to send metrics to. Instance
# names are located at metrics.configs[].name from the top-level config.
# The instance must exist.
#
# As it is common to use the name "default" for your primary instance,
# we assume the same here.
[metrics_instance: <string> | default = "default"]
# Autoscrape interval and timeout. Defaults are inherited from the global
# section of the top-level metrics config.
[scrape_interval: <duration> | default = <metrics.global.scrape_interval>]
[scrape_timeout: <duration> | default = <metrics.global.scrape_timeout>]
# Integration instance name. This will default to the host:port of the configured
# vsphere_url.
[instance: <string> | default = <vsphere_url>]
# Number of managed objects to include in each request to vsphere when
# fetching performance counters.
[request_chunk_size: <int> | default = 256]
# Number of concurrent requests to vsphere when fetching performance counters.
[collect_concurrency: <int> | default = 8]
# Interval on which to run vsphere managed object discovery. Setting this to a
# non-zero value will result in object discovery running in the background. Each
# scrape will use object data gathered during the last discovery.
# When this value is 0, object discovery occurs per scrape.
[discovery_interval: <duration> | default = 0]
[enable_exporter_metrics: <boolean> | default = true]
# The url of the vCenter SDK endpoint
vsphere_url: <string>
# vCenter username
vsphere_user: <string>
# vCenter password
vsphere_password: <string>
