# Prometheus Remote Write source plugin

export const entity_0 = "Prometheus Remote Write source plugin"

export const plugin_0 = "Prometheus Remote Write source plugin"

The Prometheus Remote Write [source plugin](/ingest/pipeline/plugins/source-plugins)
(name: `prometheus_remote_write`) lets you ingest data from the
[Prometheus Remote-Write API](https://prometheus.io/docs/specs/remote_write_spec/)
into a telemetry pipeline.

This is a [push-based](/ingest/pipeline/plugins/source-plugins#push-based-and-pull-based-source-plugins) source plugin.

## 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.

| **Tag from URI**        | `tag_from_uri`      | Sets tag from URI. For example, v1\_metrics from /v1/metrics.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   | `false`          |
| **URI**                 | `uri`               | Sets the URI to receive Prometheus Remote Write metrics on.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     | `/api/prom/push` |
| **Chunk Size**          | `buffer_chunk_size` | Sets the default [chunk](https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/administration/buffering-and-storage#chunks) size for buffered data. If a single record exceeds this size, the plugin temporarily increases the chunk size up to the value of `buffer_max_size` to accommodate it.                                                                                                                                                                                    | `512K`           |
| **Buffer Max Size**     | `buffer_max_size`   | Sets the maximum [chunk](https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/administration/buffering-and-storage#chunks) size for buffered data. If a single record exceeds this size, the plugin drops that record.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              | `4M`             |
| **Memory Buffer Limit** | `mem_buf_limit`     | For pipelines with the Deployment or DaemonSet [workload](/ingest/pipeline/v2/configure/kubernetes/workloads) type only. Sets a limit for how much buffered data the plugin can write to memory, which affects [backpressure](/ingest/pipeline/v2/configure/backpressure). This value must follow Fluent Bit's rules for [unit sizes](https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/administration/configuring-fluent-bit#unit-sizes). If unspecified, no limit is enforced. | *none*           |
