Create a new scraper in the InfluxDB user interface (UI).
|
|
|
|
## Create a scraper in the InfluxDB UI
|
|
1. Click **Load Data** in the navigation bar.
|
|
|
|
{{< nav-icon "load data" >}}
|
|
|
|
2. Click **Scrapers**.
|
|
3. Click **{{< icon "plus" >}} Create Scraper**.
|
|
4. Enter a **Name** for the scraper.
|
|
5. Select a **Bucket** to store the scraped data.
|
|
6. Enter the **Target URL** to scrape.
|
|
The default URL value is `http://localhost:9999/metrics`,
|
|
which provides InfluxDB-specific metrics in the [Prometheus data format](https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats/).
|
|
7. Click **Create**.
|
|
|
|
The new scraper will begin scraping data after approximately 10 seconds,
|
|
then continue scraping in 10 second intervals.
