can remote_write write out plain text?

[m.mah...@gmail.com]

Hi experts,

Is there a way for me to configure remote_write to write out metrics in plain text  (either json or some other) format, or is it limited to writing out in proto buf binary format?

Thank you,

Mahesh

You can use influxdb instead of file

I don't believe remote_write is intended for this purpose - it's only designed to send batches of metric samples to a remote receiver that is ready to accept the proper format.

Thanks Cody for your inputs. Sorry, but not sure if i understood you correctly. Are you saying json isn't a proper format anymore for such purposes (though older systems such as collectd and telegraf support writing out json which continues to work fine)? Or is did you mean remote_write component is not the meant for this purpose but there's some other way to push json out of prometheus. Thanks again!

The way to do it would be to code up something that took in the remote write data, and then converted it to the JSON format you want. Remote write is meant to be a place to hook into rather than an ultimate solution.

OK. Thanks Brian.

it is possible . if you are using push_gateway to push scrape data,  on push_gateway startup scripts you have option to specify local log

file. It will dump scrap data on log file and it is a text. But it has control characters.
