If you use Prometheus only for scraping metrics from various targets and forwarding those metrics to remote storage then vmagent can replace Prometheus. See the corresponding Makefile rules for details. Vmagent works on various architectures from the IoT world - 32-bit arm, 64-bit arm, ppc64, 386, amd64. The maximum buffer size can be limited with -remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL. It re-tries sending the data to remote storage until any errors are resolved. It buffers the collected data in local files until the connection to remote storage becomes available and then sends the buffered data to the remote storage. Vmagent can run and collect metrics in IoT and industrial networks with unreliable or scheduled connections to their remote storage. There is also nfigCheckInterval command-line option, which can be used for automatic reloading configs from updated nfig file.
DIGITALPERSONA LOCAL AGENT MEMORY ARCHIVE
Please download vmutils-* archive from releases page, unpack it and configure the following flags to the vmagent binary in order to start scraping Prometheus targets:
DIGITALPERSONA LOCAL AGENT MEMORY SERIES
Can deal with high cardinality and high churn rate issues by limiting the number of unique time series at scrape time and before sending them to remote storage systems.Can efficiently scrape targets that expose millions of time series such as /federate endpoint in Prometheus.Scrape targets can be spread among multiple vmagent instances when big number of targets must be scraped.Uses lower amounts of RAM, CPU, disk IO and network bandwidth compared with Prometheus.The maximum disk usage for the buffer can be limited with -remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL. The buffered metrics are sent to remote storage as soon as the connection to the remote storage is repaired. If the remote storage is unavailable, the collected metrics are buffered at -remoteWrite.tmpDataPath. Works smoothly in environments with unstable connections to remote storage.Can replicate collected metrics simultaneously to multiple remote storage systems.Arbitrary CSV data via See these docs.Prometheus exposition format via See these docs for details.Native data import protocol via See these docs.JSON lines import protocol via See these docs.OpenTSDB telnet and http protocols if -opentsdbListenAddr command-line flag is set.Graphite plaintext protocol if -graphiteListenAddr command-line flag is set.InfluxDB line protocol via See these docs.Accepts data via all ingestion protocols supported by VictoriaMetrics:.Can filter data before sending it to remote storage. Can add, remove and modify labels (aka tags) via Prometheus relabeling.

Can be used as a drop-in replacement for Prometheus for scraping targets such as node_exporter.We did our best and will continue to improve vmagent. Therefore we decided to add more flexibility to vmagent such as the ability to push metrics instead of pulling them. Also, we found that our user's infrastructure are like snowflakes in that no two are alike.

While VictoriaMetrics provides an efficient solution to store and observe metrics, our users needed something fast and RAM friendly to scrape metrics from Prometheus-compatible exporters into VictoriaMetrics. Vmagent is a tiny but mighty agent which helps you collect metrics from various sources and store them in VictoriaMetrics or any other Prometheus-compatible storage systems that support the remote_write protocol.
