Note that single-node VictoriaMetrics can also discover and scrape Prometheus-compatible targets in the same way as vmagent does. * Can add, remove and modify labels (aka tags) via Prometheus relabeling. * Can filter data before sending it to remote storage. * Can accept data via all the ingestion protocols supported by VictoriaMetrics. * Can aggregate incoming samples by time and by labels before sending them to remote storage. * Can replicate collected metrics simultaneously to multiple Prometheus-compatible remote storage systems. * Can save egress network bandwidth usage costs when VictoriaMetrics remote write protocol is used for sending the data to VictoriaMetrics. * Works smoothly in environments with unstable connections to remote storage. If the remote storage is unavailable, the collected metrics are buffered at `-remoteWrite.tmpDataPath`. The buffered metrics are sent to remote storage as soon as the connection to the remote storage is repaired. The maximum disk usage for the buffer can be limited with `-remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL`. * Uses lower amounts of RAM, CPU, disk IO and network bandwidth than Prometheus. * Scrape targets can be spread among multiple vmagent instances when big number of targets must be scraped. * Can load scrape configs from multiple files. * Can efficiently scrape targets that expose millions of time series such as `/federate` endpoint in Prometheus. * Can deal with high cardinality and high churn rate issues by limiting the number of unique time series at scrape time and before sending them to remote storage systems. * Can write collected metrics to multiple tenants. ### Package name * vmagent --- ### License * Apache-2.0 --- ### Last updated * 9 December 2024 - latest/stable * 9 December 2024 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [victoriametrics.com](https://victoriametrics.com/ "https://victoriametrics.com/") --- ### Contact * [info@victoriametrics.com](mailto:info@victoriametrics.com "mailto:info@victoriametrics.com") --- ### Source code * [github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics "https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/new/choose](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/new/choose "https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/new/choose") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/vmagent/fedora#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Fedora and install vmagent Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap can be installed on Fedora from the command line: ``` sudo dnf install snapd ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` ### Install vmagent To install vmagent, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install vmagent ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
