Introduction to exporter configuration
You can use exporters in conjunction with Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheusto ingest metrics from third-party applications or from other componentsof the Prometheus infrastructure.
This set of documents includes configuration instructions for anumber of common exporters. These instructions apply only if you areusingmanaged collection with Managed Service for Prometheus.If you are using self-deployed collection, see the relevant exporterdocumentation for information about where to find the exporter's sourcerepository.
This document is not an exhaustive list of the exporters supported byManaged Service for Prometheus. You can configure managed collectionto scrape any exporter that you can set up. This list provides instructions forsome of the most commonly used exporters.
Application exporters
You can use application exporters with Managed Service for Prometheusto collect metrics from third-party applications.These exporters are typically set up as standalone workloads or assidecars to your existing GKE deployments.

Infrastructure exporters
The documents in this section contain example YAML manifests and otherconfiguration that you can use to install and scrape infrastructureexporters.For example, to replicate the experience of using thekube-prometheus repository,you can set up theKube State Metrics andNode Exporter exporters, and configure managedcollection to scrape thecAdvisor/Kubeletmetrics.
For more information, see the following documents:
- GKE control-planemetrics
- Hubble (GKE Dataplane V2)
- Istio
- Kube State Metrics
- cAdvisor/Kubelet
- Node Exporter
- NVIDIA Data Center GPU Manager (DCGM)
