export block
export
is an optional configuration block used to specify an emitted value of
a Module. export
blocks must be given a label which determine the
name of the export.
The export
block may not be specified in the main configuration file given
to Grafana Agent Flow.
Example
export "ARGUMENT_NAME" {
value = ARGUMENT_VALUE
}
Arguments
The following arguments are supported:
Name | Type | Description | Default | Required |
---|---|---|---|---|
value | any | Value to export. | yes |
The value
argument determines what the value of the export will be. To expose
an exported field of another component to the module loader, set value
to an
expression which references that exported value.
Exported fields
The export
block does not export any fields.
Example
This example creates a module where the output of discovering Kubernetes pods and nodes are exposed to the module loader:
discovery.kubernetes "pods" {
role = "pod"
}
discovery.kubernetes "nodes" {
role = "nodes"
}
export "kubernetes_resources" {
value = concat(
discovery.kubernetes.pods.targets,
discovery.kubernetes.nodes.targets,
)
}
