How to ingest metrics from a Prometheus instance

​

Prerequisites

1. Install and configure Nebius AI Cloud CLI.
2. If you don’t have a service account for observability services, create one.
3. Make sure that the service account is in a group that has at least the editor role within your tenant; for example, the default editors group. You can check this in the Administration → IAM section of the web console. If the service account is not in the required group, click  → Add to group, and select editors.
4. Issue a static key for the service account using the following command:
   nebius iam static-key issue \
     --name <name_for_the_key> \
     --account-service-account-id <service_account_ID> \
     --service observability
   
   Copy the value of the static key from the token parameter of the response. You will need it later in the configuration steps.

How to configure the instance

1. Add the remote_write section to the Prometheus configuration file:
   global:
     scrape_interval: 15s
     evaluation_interval: 15s
   
   ...
   # Your current scrape configuration
   ...
   
   remote_write:
   - url: "https://write.monitoring.<region_ID>.nebius.cloud/projects/<project_ID>/prometheus/api/v1/write"
     authorization:
       type: Bearer
       credentials: "<token_value>"
   
   In this configuration, specify the following values:
   • Region ID from the region list.
   • Project ID.
   • Token value of the static key that you got earlier.
2. Restart your Prometheus instance or reload its configuration.
