Prometheus scrape source plugin
Prometheus scrape is a data collection method used by Prometheus, a popular open source monitoring system. It enables you to collect metrics data from various sources by periodically scraping data from HTTP endpoints exposed by monitored applications and services.
Prometheus scrape works by sending HTTP GET requests to the configured scrape endpoints and collecting the response data, which is then processed and stored as time-series data. This allows you to monitor the performance and behavior of your applications and services in real-time and gain insights into their overall health and availability.
You can use the Prometheus scrape source plugin to configure Chronosphere Telemetry Pipeline to collect data from your Prometheus instances.
