Caution
Grafana Alloy is the new name for our distribution of the OTel collector. Grafana Agent has been deprecated and is in Long-Term Support (LTS) through October 31, 2025. Grafana Agent will reach an End-of-Life (EOL) on November 1, 2025. Read more about why we recommend migrating to Grafana Alloy.
Important: This documentation is about an older version. It's relevant only to the release noted, many of the features and functions have been updated or replaced. Please view the current version.
discovery.uyuni
discovery.uyuni
discovers Uyuni Monitoring Endpoints and exposes them as targets.
Usage
discovery.uyuni "LABEL" {
server = SERVER
username = USERNAME
password = PASSWORD
}
Arguments
The following arguments are supported:
Name | Type | Description | Default | Required |
---|---|---|---|---|
server | string | The primary Uyuni Server. | yes | |
username | string | The username to use for authentication to the Uyuni API. | yes | |
password | Secret | The password to use for authentication to the Uyuni API. | yes | |
entitlement | string | The entitlement to filter on when listing targets. | "monitoring_entitled" | no |
separator | string | The separator to use when building the __meta_uyuni_groups label. | "," | no |
refresh_interval | duration | Interval at which to refresh the list of targets. | 1m | no |
proxy_url | string | HTTP proxy to send requests through. | no | |
no_proxy | string | Comma-separated list of IP addresses, CIDR notations, and domain names to exclude from proxying. | no | |
proxy_from_environment | bool | Use the proxy URL indicated by environment variables. | false | no |
proxy_connect_header | map(list(secret)) | Specifies headers to send to proxies during CONNECT requests. | no | |
follow_redirects | bool | Whether redirects returned by the server should be followed. | true | no |
enable_http2 | bool | Whether HTTP2 is supported for requests. | true | no |
no_proxy
can contain IPs, CIDR notations, and domain names. IP and domain
names can contain port numbers. proxy_url
must be configured if no_proxy
is configured.
proxy_from_environment
uses the environment variables HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY
and NO_PROXY (or the lowercase versions thereof). Requests use the proxy from
the environment variable matching their scheme, unless excluded by NO_PROXY.
proxy_url
and no_proxy
must not be configured if proxy_from_environment
is configured.
proxy_connect_header
should only be configured if proxy_url
or proxy_from_environment
are configured.
Blocks
The following blocks are supported inside the definition of
discovery.uyuni
:
Hierarchy | Block | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
tls_config | tls_config | TLS configuration for requests to the Uyuni API. | no |
tls_config block
Name | Type | Description | Default | Required |
---|---|---|---|---|
ca_pem | string | CA PEM-encoded text to validate the server with. | no | |
ca_file | string | CA certificate to validate the server with. | no | |
cert_pem | string | Certificate PEM-encoded text for client authentication. | no | |
cert_file | string | Certificate file for client authentication. | no | |
insecure_skip_verify | bool | Disables validation of the server certificate. | no | |
key_file | string | Key file for client authentication. | no | |
key_pem | secret | Key PEM-encoded text for client authentication. | no | |
min_version | string | Minimum acceptable TLS version. | no | |
server_name | string | ServerName extension to indicate the name of the server. | no |
The following pairs of arguments are mutually exclusive and can’t both be set simultaneously:
ca_pem
andca_file
cert_pem
andcert_file
key_pem
andkey_file
When configuring client authentication, both the client certificate (using
cert_pem
or cert_file
) and the client key (using key_pem
or key_file
)
must be provided.
When min_version
is not provided, the minimum acceptable TLS version is
inherited from Go’s default minimum version, TLS 1.2. If min_version
is
provided, it must be set to one of the following strings:
"TLS10"
(TLS 1.0)"TLS11"
(TLS 1.1)"TLS12"
(TLS 1.2)"TLS13"
(TLS 1.3)
Exported fields
The following fields are exported and can be referenced by other components:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
targets | list(map(string)) | The set of targets discovered from the Uyuni API. |
Each target includes the following labels:
__meta_uyuni_minion_hostname
: The hostname of the Uyuni Minion.__meta_uyuni_primary_fqdn
: The FQDN of the Uyuni primary.__meta_uyuni_system_id
: The system ID of the Uyuni Minion.__meta_uyuni_groups
: The groups the Uyuni Minion belongs to.__meta_uyuni_endpoint_name
: The name of the endpoint.__meta_uyuni_exporter
: The name of the exporter.__meta_uyuni_proxy_module
: The name of the Uyuni module.__meta_uyuni_metrics_path
: The path to the metrics endpoint.__meta_uyuni_scheme
:https
if TLS is enabled on the endpoint,http
otherwise.
These labels are largely derived from a listEndpoints API call to the Uyuni Server.
Component health
discovery.uyuni
is only reported as unhealthy when given an invalid
configuration. In those cases, exported fields retain their last healthy
values.
Debug information
discovery.uyuni
does not expose any component-specific debug information.
Debug metrics
discovery.uyuni
does not expose any component-specific debug metrics.
Example
discovery.uyuni "example" {
server = "https://127.0.0.1/rpc/api"
username = UYUNI_USERNAME
password = UYUNI_PASSWORD
}
prometheus.scrape "demo" {
targets = discovery.uyuni.example.targets
forward_to = [prometheus.remote_write.demo.receiver]
}
prometheus.remote_write "demo" {
endpoint {
url = PROMETHEUS_REMOTE_WRITE_URL
basic_auth {
username = USERNAME
password = PASSWORD
}
}
}
Replace the following:
UYUNI_USERNAME
: The username to use for authentication to the Uyuni server.UYUNI_PASSWORD
: The password to use for authentication to the Uyuni server.PROMETHEUS_REMOTE_WRITE_URL
: The URL of the Prometheus remote_write-compatible server to send metrics to.USERNAME
: The username to use for authentication to the remote_write API.PASSWORD
: The password to use for authentication to the remote_write API.
