# Prometheus Remote Write destination plugin

export const entity_0 = "Prometheus Remote Write destination plugin"

export const plugin_0 = "Prometheus Remote Write destination plugin"

The Prometheus Remote Write [destination plugin](/ingest/pipeline/plugins/destination-plugins)
(name: `prometheus_remote_write`, alias: `PrometheusRemoteWrite`)
lets you configure your telemetry pipeline to send metrics data in a standardized
format over HTTP to a configured remote endpoint.

## Supported telemetry types

The {plugin_0} for Chronosphere Telemetry Pipeline supports these telemetry types:

|               Logs              |                   Metrics                  |              Traces             |
| :-----------------------------: | :----------------------------------------: | :-----------------------------: |
| <Icon icon="ban" color="red" /> | <Icon icon="circle-check" color="green" /> | <Icon icon="ban" color="red" /> |

## Configuration parameters

Use the parameters in this section to configure the {entity_0}. The
Telemetry Pipeline web interface uses the items in the **Name** column to
describe these parameters. [Pipeline configuration files](/ingest/pipeline/v2/configure/config-files)
use the items in the **Key** column as YAML keys.

### General

| Name     | Key    | Description                                                         | Default     |
| -------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| **Host** | `host` | Required. IP address or hostname of the target HTTP Server.         | `127.0.0.1` |
| **Port** | `port` | Required. TCP port of the target HTTP Server.                       | `80`        |
| **URI**  | `uri`  | Required. Specifies an optional HTTP URI for the target web server. | `/`         |

If you configured [Chronosphere Collector](/ingest/metrics-traces/collector) to
serve as a Prometheus remote write backend, view the Chronosphere Collector configuration
for the configured host, port, and URL.
