--- sort: 24 --- # Prometheus service discovery [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html) and [single-node VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-scrape-prometheus-exporters-such-as-node-exporter) supports the following Prometheus-compatible service discovery options for Prometheus-compatible scrape targets in the file pointed by `-promscrape.config` command-line flag. * `azure_sd_configs` - is for scraping the targets registered in Azure Cloud. See [azure_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#azure_sd_config) for details. * `consul_sd_configs` is for discovering and scraping targets registered in Consul. See [consul_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#consul_sd_config) for details. * `digitalocean_sd_configs` is for discovering and scraping targerts registered in [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/). See [digitalocean_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#digitalocean_sd_config) for details. * `dns_sd_configs` is for discovering and scraping targets from DNS records (SRV, A and AAAA). See [dns_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#dns_sd_config) for details. * `docker_sd_configs` is for discovering and scraping Docker targets. See [docker_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#docker_sd_config) for details. * `dockerswarm_sd_configs` is for discovering and scraping Docker Swarm targets. See [dockerswarm_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#dockerswarm_sd_config) for details. * `ec2_sd_configs` is for discovering and scraping Amazon EC2 targets. See [ec2_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#ec2_sd_config) for details. `vmagent` doesn't support the `profile` config param yet. * `eureka_sd_configs` is for discovering and scraping targets registered in [Netflix Eureka](https://github.com/Netflix/eureka). See [eureka_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#eureka_sd_config) for details. * `file_sd_configs` is for scraping targets defined in external files (aka file-based service discovery). See [these docs](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#file_sd_config) for details. * `gce_sd_configs` is for discovering and scraping Google Compute Engine (GCE) targets. See [gce_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#gce_sd_config) for details. `vmagent` provides the following additional functionality for `gce_sd_config`: * if `project` arg is missing then `vmagent` uses the project for the instance where it runs; * if `zone` arg is missing then `vmagent` uses the zone for the instance where it runs; * if `zone` arg equals to `"*"`, then `vmagent` discovers all the zones for the given project; * `zone` may contain a list of zones, i.e. `zone: [us-east1-a, us-east1-b]`. * `http_sd_configs` is for discovering and scraping targerts provided by external http-based service discovery. See [http_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#http_sd_config) for details. * `kubernetes_sd_configs` is for discovering and scraping Kubernetes (K8S) targets. See [kubernetes_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#kubernetes_sd_config) for details. * `openstack_sd_configs` is for discovering and scraping OpenStack targets. See [openstack_sd_config](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#openstack_sd_config) for details. [OpenStack identity API v3](https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/identity/v3/) is supported only. * `static_configs` is for scraping statically defined targets. See [these docs](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#static_config) for details. * `yandexcloud_sd_configs` is for discoverying and scraping [Yandex Cloud](https://cloud.yandex.com/en/) targets. See [these docs](#yandexcloud_sd_configs) for details. Note that the `refresh_interval` option isn't supported for these scrape configs. Use the corresponding `-promscrape.*CheckInterval` command-line flag instead. For example, `-promscrape.consulSDCheckInterval=60s` sets `refresh_interval` for all the `consul_sd_configs` entries to 60s. Run `vmagent -help` or `victoria-metrics -help` in order to see default values for the `-promscrape.*CheckInterval` flags. Please file feature requests to [our issue tracker](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues) if you need other service discovery mechanisms to be supported by VictoriaMetrics and `vmagent`. ## yandexcloud_sd_configs Yandex Cloud SD configurations allow retrieving scrape targets from accessible folders. Only compute instances currently supported and the following meta labels are available on targets during relabeling: * `__meta_yandexcloud_instance_name`: the name of instance * `__meta_yandexcloud_instance_id`: the id of instance * `__meta_yandexcloud_instance_fqdn`: generated FQDN for instance * `__meta_yandexcloud_instance_status`: the status of instance * `__meta_yandexcloud_instance_platform_id`: instance platform ID (i.e. "standard-v3") * `__meta_yandexcloud_instance_resources_cores`: instance vCPU cores * `__meta_yandexcloud_instance_resources_core_fraction`: instance core fraction * `__meta_yandexcloud_instance_resources_memory`: instance memory * `__meta_yandexcloud_folder_id`: instance folder ID * `__meta_yandexcloud_instance_label_
