How to push prometheus metrics directly to VictoriaMetrics?

Question

I'm using python prometheus client and have troubles pushing metrics to VictoriaMetrics (VM).

There is a function called push_to_gateway and I tried to replace prometheus URL with VM: http://prometheus:9091 -> http://vm:8428/api/v1/write. But VM responded with 400 status code.

Answer 1

It possible to use push_to_gateway method with VictoriaMetrics, check examples at gist https://gist.github.com/f41gh7/85b2eb895bb63b93ce46ef73448c62d0
