# Using Netdata with Prometheus
-Prometheus is a distributed monitoring system which offers a very simple setup along with a robust data model. Recently
-Netdata added support for Prometheus. I'm going to quickly show you how to install both Netdata and Prometheus on the
-same server. We can then use Grafana pointed at Prometheus to obtain long term metrics Netdata offers. I'm assuming we
-are starting at a fresh ubuntu shell (whether you'd like to follow along in a VM or a cloud instance is up to you).
-
-## Installing Netdata and Prometheus
-
-### Installing Netdata
-
-There are number of ways to install Netdata according to
-[Installation](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/README.md). The suggested way
-of installing the latest Netdata and keep it upgrade automatically.
-
-<!-- candidate for reuse -->
-
-To install Netdata, run the following as your normal user:
-
-<OneLineInstallWget/>
-
-Or, if you have cURL but not wget (such as on macOS):
-
-<OneLineInstallCurl/>
-
-At this point we should have Netdata listening on port 19999. Attempt to take your browser here:
-
-```sh
-http://your.netdata.ip:19999
-```
-
-_(replace `your.netdata.ip` with the IP or hostname of the server running Netdata)_
-
-### Installing Prometheus
-
-In order to install Prometheus we are going to introduce our own systemd startup script along with an example of
-prometheus.yaml configuration. Prometheus needs to be pointed to your server at a specific target url for it to scrape
-Netdata's api. Prometheus is always a pull model meaning Netdata is the passive client within this architecture.
-Prometheus always initiates the connection with Netdata.
-
-#### Download Prometheus
-
-```sh
-cd /tmp && curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/prometheus/prometheus/releases/latest \
-| grep "browser_download_url.*linux-amd64.tar.gz" \
-| cut -d '"' -f 4 \
-| wget -qi -
-```
-
-#### Create prometheus system user
-
-```sh
-sudo useradd -r prometheus
-```
-
-#### Create prometheus directory
-
-```sh
-sudo mkdir /opt/prometheus
-sudo chown prometheus:prometheus /opt/prometheus
-```
-
-#### Untar prometheus directory
-
-```sh
-sudo tar -xvf /tmp/prometheus-*linux-amd64.tar.gz -C /opt/prometheus --strip=1
-```
-
-#### Install prometheus.yml
-
-We will use the following `prometheus.yml` file. Save it at `/opt/prometheus/prometheus.yml`.
-
-Make sure to replace `your.netdata.ip` with the IP or hostname of the host running Netdata.
-
-```yaml
-# my global config
-global:
- scrape_interval: 5s # Set the scrape interval to every 5 seconds. Default is every 1 minute.
- evaluation_interval: 5s # Evaluate rules every 5 seconds. The default is every 1 minute.
- # scrape_timeout is set to the global default (10s).
-
- # Attach these labels to any time series or alerts when communicating with
- # external systems (federation, remote storage, Alertmanager).
- external_labels:
- monitor: 'codelab-monitor'
-
-# Load rules once and periodically evaluate them according to the global 'evaluation_interval'.
-rule_files:
-# - "first.rules"
-# - "second.rules"
-
-# A scrape configuration containing exactly one endpoint to scrape:
-# Here it's Prometheus itself.
-scrape_configs:
- # The job name is added as a label `job=<job_name>` to any timeseries scraped from this config.
- - job_name: 'prometheus'
-
- # metrics_path defaults to '/metrics'
- # scheme defaults to 'http'.
-
- static_configs:
- - targets: [ '0.0.0.0:9090' ]
-
- - job_name: 'netdata-scrape'
-
- metrics_path: '/api/v1/allmetrics'
- params:
- # format: prometheus | prometheus_all_hosts
- # You can use `prometheus_all_hosts` if you want Prometheus to set the `instance` to your hostname instead of IP
- format: [ prometheus ]
- #
- # sources: as-collected | raw | average | sum | volume
- # default is: average
- #source: [as-collected]
- #
- # server name for this prometheus - the default is the client IP
- # for Netdata to uniquely identify it
- #server: ['prometheus1']
- honor_labels: true
-
- static_configs:
- - targets: [ '{your.netdata.ip}:19999' ]
-```
-
-#### Install nodes.yml
-
-The following is completely optional, it will enable Prometheus to generate alerts from some Netdata sources. Tweak the
-values to your own needs. We will use the following `nodes.yml` file below. Save it at `/opt/prometheus/nodes.yml`, and
-add a _- "nodes.yml"_ entry under the _rule_files:_ section in the example prometheus.yml file above.
-
-```yaml
-groups:
- - name: nodes
-
- rules:
- - alert: node_high_cpu_usage_70
- expr: sum(sum_over_time(netdata_system_cpu_percentage_average{dimension=~"(user|system|softirq|irq|guest)"}[10m])) by (job) / sum(count_over_time(netdata_system_cpu_percentage_average{dimension="idle"}[10m])) by (job) > 70

+Netdata supports exporting metrics to Prometheus in two ways:
-#### Install prometheus.service
+ - You can [configure Prometheus to scrape Netdata metrics](#configure-prometheus-to-scrape-netdata-metrics).
-Save this service file as `/etc/systemd/system/prometheus.service`:
-
-```sh
-[Unit]
-Description=Prometheus Server
-AssertPathExists=/opt/prometheus
-
-[Service]
-Type=simple
-WorkingDirectory=/opt/prometheus
-User=prometheus
-Group=prometheus
-ExecStart=/opt/prometheus/prometheus --config.file=/opt/prometheus/prometheus.yml --log.level=info
-ExecReload=/bin/kill -SIGHUP $MAINPID
-ExecStop=/bin/kill -SIGINT $MAINPID
-
-[Install]
-WantedBy=multi-user.target
-```
-
-##### Start Prometheus
-
-```sh
-sudo systemctl start prometheus
-sudo systemctl enable prometheus
-```
-
-Prometheus should now start and listen on port 9090. Attempt to head there with your browser.
-
-If everything is working correctly when you fetch `http://your.prometheus.ip:9090` you will see a 'Status' tab. Click
-this and click on 'targets' We should see the Netdata host as a scraped target.
-
----
+ - You can [configure Netdata to push metrics to Prometheus](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md)
+ , using the Prometheus remote write API.
## Netdata support for Prometheus
-Before explaining the changes, we have to understand the key differences between Netdata and Prometheus.
+Regardless of the methodology, you first need to understand how Netdata structures the metrics it exports to Prometheus
+and the capabilities it provides. The examples provided in this document assume that you will be using Netdata as
+a metrics endpoint, but the concepts apply as well to the remote write API method.
