You can use the InfluxDB 2.0 user interface (UI) to quickly define a scraper that can capture hardware and OS metrics from third-party systems and translate the data into the popular Prometheus format, which is supported by InfluxDB.
Follow the steps below to configure an InfluxDB 2.0 scraper to collect metrics generated by InfluxDB 2.0 into a bucket.
