The Prometheus Scrape via OTel (Custom Config) integration v0.1.2 is in technical preview

To use pre-release integrations, go to the Integrations page in Kibana, scroll down, and toggle on the Display beta integrations option.

This package allows you to scrape Prometheus-compatible metrics endpoints using the OpenTelemetry Collector's Prometheus receiver by pasting your existing Prometheus scrape configuration directly.

This package configures the Prometheus receiver in the EDOT collector to scrape metrics from Prometheus-compatible endpoints. Simply paste your existing Prometheus scrape_configs YAML and the package will use it as-is. The Elastic Agent processes and enriches the data before sending it to Elasticsearch for indexing and analysis.

Looking for guided configuration? If you prefer configuring individual settings through the Fleet UI, consider using the Prometheus Scrape via OTel (Guided) package instead.

Paste your existing Prometheus scrape_configs YAML directly from your prometheus.yml file:

YAML
- job_name: 'my-app'
  scrape_interval: 15s
  scrape_timeout: 10s
  metrics_path: /metrics
  scheme: http
  static_configs:
    - targets:
        - 'localhost:9090'
        - 'localhost:9100'
  honor_labels: true
  honor_timestamps: true

This becomes the literal receiver config:

YAML
receivers:
  prometheus:
    config:
      scrape_configs:
        - job_name: 'my-app'
          scrape_interval: 15s
          scrape_timeout: 10s
          metrics_path: /metrics
          scheme: http
          static_configs:
            - targets:
                - 'localhost:9090'
                - 'localhost:9100'
          honor_labels: true
          honor_timestamps: true

For detailed configuration options and their descriptions, refer to the Prometheus Receiver documentation in the upstream OpenTelemetry Collector repository.

  • Quickly migrate existing Prometheus scrape configurations
  • Use advanced Prometheus scraping features not exposed in the guided package
  • Monitor applications exposing Prometheus metrics
  • Scrape Node Exporter, cAdvisor, or other Prometheus exporters

This package requires:

  • Kibana 9.2.0 or later
  • Elastic Agent with OpenTelemetry Collector support
