InfluxDB scrapers collect data from specified targets at regular intervals, then write the scraped data to an InfluxDB bucket. Scrapers can collect data from any HTTP(S)-accessible endpoint that provides data in the Prometheus data format.

Create a scraper in the InfluxDB UI

1. In the navigation menu on the left, select Data (Load Data) > Scrapers.

   {{< nav-icon "load data" >}}

2. Click {{< icon "plus" >}} Create Scraper.

3. Enter a Name for the scraper.

4. Select a Bucket to store the scraped data.

5. Enter the Target URL to scrape. The default URL value is http://localhost:8086/metrics, which provides InfluxDB-specific metrics in the Prometheus data format.

6. Click Create.

The new scraper will begin scraping data after approximately 10 seconds, then continue scraping in 10 second intervals.
