Read Cloud-Hosted Prometheus Instance Data via Remote Read

Last updated: 2024-08-07 22:02:54

    Overview

    TMP provides the remote read API, which supports organizing a series of data sources of the Prometheus protocol into a single data source for query. This document describes how to use self-built Prometheus to read data from a cloud-managed TMP instance through the remote read API.

    Remote Read Configuration

    The recommended configuration for prometheus.yml is as follows:
    remote_read:
    - url: 'http://prom_ip:prom_port/api/v1/read'
    read_recent: true
    basic_auth:
    username: app_id
    password: token
    It is recommended to use the Basic Auth method to access the cloud-managed TMP instance. The username is the account AppID and the password is the token obtained on Basic Info > Service Address in the Prometheus console.
    
    
    

    Note

    Configure global:external_labels carefully for TMP instances with remote read enabled: As external_labels will be appended to the query condition of remote read, an inaccurate label may prevent you from querying the necessary data. The filter_external_labels: false configuration item can avoid adding external_labels to the query condition (supported in v2.34 and later).
    Avoid identical series: For two identical series, TMP will randomly select a series value at each time point to form a new series as the query result during query merging, which will lead to inaccurate query results. Since there is no multi-copy redundant storage in the design concept of TMP, identical series will not be supported.

    Remote Read Configuration Items

    Note
    The configuration items in [] are optional. This document shows Prometheus v2.40 configuration, and some configuration items may be missing in lower versions. For more information, see Prometheus official documentation.
    # The API address of the target TMP instance for remote read
    url: <string>
    
    # Identify a unique remote read configuration name
    [ name: <string> ]
    
    # The PromQL must contain the following label filter conditions to perform remote read query
    required_matchers:

    # The timeout for remote read query
    [ remote_timeout: <duration> | default = 1m ]
    
    # Customize the headers attached to the remote read request. You can’t overwrite the headers originally added by TMP.
    headers:

    # Whether to perform remote read query in the time range with complete local data storage
    [ read_recent: <boolean> | default = false ]
    
    # Add Authorization header to each remote read request, and choose password or password_file.
    basic_auth:
    [ username: <string> ]

    [ password_file: <string> ]
    
    # Customize authorization header configuration
    authorization:

    [ type: <string> | default: Bearer ]
    # Authentication key. You can choose credentials or credentials_file.
    [ credentials: <secret> ]
    # Get the key from the file
    [ credentials_file: <filename> ]
    
    # OAuth2.0 authentication, which cannot be used with basic_auth authorization at the same time.
    oauth2:
    [ <oauth2> ]
    
    # TLS configuration
    tls_config:
    [ <tls_config> ]
    
    # Proxy URL
    [ proxy_url: <string> ]
    
    # Query whether the request accepts 3XX redirection
    [ follow_redirects: <boolean> | default = true ]
    
    # Whether to enable HTTP2
    [ enable_http2: <bool> | default: true ]
    
    # Whether to append `external_labels` for remote read
