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.

## Configure an InfluxDB scraper to collect InfluxDB 2.0 metrics
|
|
|
|
Follow the steps here to capture Prometheus format data into an InfluxDB 2.0 bucket.
|
|
|
|
1. Open a web browser to your InfluxDB 2.0 instance
|
|
[localhost:9999](http://localhost:9999). The login screen for the UI (user interface) appears.
|
|
2. Log in using your username and password. The **Getting started with InfluxDB 2.0** screen appears.
|
|
3. In the navigation bar on the left, click **Organizations** and then click the name of your organization. The **Organization** page appears for the selected organization.
|
|
4. Click the **Scrapers** tab. A listing of any existing scrapers appears, listing the **URL** and the **BUCKET** name.
|
|
5. Click **Create Scraper**. The **Data Loading** page appears with **Add Scraper Target** options to define a scraper.
|
|
6. From the **Bucket** listing, select the bucket that you wan to be use to collect data.
|
|
7. Enter the **Target URL** to use for the Prometheus `/metrics` HTTP endpoint. The default URL value is `http://localhost:9100/metrics`.
|
|
8. Click **Finish**. The new scraper for Node Explorer appears as a new row in the listing of scrapers and displays the values for the **URL** and the **BUCKET**.
|
|
|
|
The new scraper for the Prometheus Node Exporter is now collecting data into the InfluxDB bucket you specified.
|
|
|
|
