lib/promscrape/discovery/hetzner: follow-up after 03a97dc678
- docs/sd_configs.md: moved hetzner_sd_configs docs to the correct place according to alphabetical order of SD names,
  document missing __meta_hetzner_role label.
- lib/promscrape/config.go: added missing MustStop() call for Hetzner SD,
  and moved the code to the correct place according to alphabetical order of SD names.
- lib/promscrape/discovery/hetzner: properly handle pagination for hloud API responses,
  populate missing __meta_hetzner_role label like Prometheus does.
- Properly populate __meta_hetzner_public_ipv6_network label like Prometheus does.
- Remove unused SDConfig.Token.
- Remove "omitempty" annotation from SDConfig.Role field, since this field is mandatory.

vmagent and single-node VictoriaMetrics 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 these docs.
  • consul_sd_configs is for discovering and scraping targets registered in Consul. See these docs.
  • consulagent_sd_configs is for discovering and scraping targets registered in Consul Agent. See these docs.
  • digitalocean_sd_configs is for discovering and scraping targets registered in DigitalOcean. See these docs.
  • dns_sd_configs is for discovering and scraping targets from DNS records (SRV, A and AAAA). See these docs.
  • docker_sd_configs is for discovering and scraping Docker targets. See these docs.
  • dockerswarm_sd_configs is for discovering and scraping Docker Swarm targets. See these docs.
  • ec2_sd_configs is for discovering and scraping Amazon EC2 targets. See these docs.

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 if you need other service discovery mechanisms to be supported by VictoriaMetrics and vmagent.

If you have performance issues with consul_sd_configs on a large cluster, then consider using consulagent_sd_configs instead.

consulagent_sd_configs

Consul Agent SD configuration allows retrieving scrape targets from Consul Agent API. When using the Agent API, only services registered in the locally running Consul Agent are discovered. It is suitable for huge clusters for which using the Catalog API would be too slow or resource intensive, in other cases it is recommended to use consul_sd_configs.

    # datacenter: "..."

    # namespace is an optional Consul namespace.
    # See https://developer.hashicorp.com/consul/docs/enterprise/namespaces

    # By default, http scheme is used.
    # scheme: "..."

    # services is an optional list of services for which targets are retrieved.
    # If omitted, all services are scraped.
    # See https://www.consul.io/api-docs/catalog#list-nodes-for-service .

    # port: ...

Each discovered target has an __address__ label set to the <addr>:<port>, where <addr> is the discovered DNS address, while <port> is either the discovered port for SRV records or the port specified in the dns_sd_config.

The following meta labels are available on discovered targets during relabeling:

  # If honor_labels is set to "true", label conflicts are resolved by keeping label
  # values from the scraped data and ignoring the conflicting server-side labels.
  #
  # If honor_labels is set to "false", label conflicts are resolved by renaming
  # conflicting labels in the scraped data to "exported_<original-label>" (for
  # example "exported_instance", "exported_job") and then attaching server-side
