Customer managed collectors
This section contains information about ingesting data by setting up your own collectors that send metrics to Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus using Prometheus remote write.
When you use your own collectors to send metrics to Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, you are responsible for securing your metrics and making sure that the ingestion process meets your availability needs.
Most customer managed collectors use one of the following tools:
-
AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) – ADOT is a fully supported, secure, production-ready open source distribution of OpenTelemetry that provides agents to collect metrics. You can use ADOT to collect metrics and send them to your Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus workspace. For more information about the ADOT Collector, see AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry
. -
Prometheus agent – You can set up your own instance of the open source Prometheus server, running as an agent, to collect metrics and forward them to your Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus workspace.
The following topics describe using both of these tools and include general information about setting up your own collectors.
