Exporting and verifying

This section helps you to add the exporter and verify that the exporter is registered by running commands below.

  1. Add the exporter by selecting one of the following choices:
    • Add the third-party exporter if Cloudera Observability SaaS is enabled

      ./obs-cli.sh add-exporter --file exporter.yaml --refresh
    • Add the third-party exporter if Cloudera Observability SaaS is not enabled
      ./obs-cli.sh add-exporter --file exporter.yaml --setup-prerequisites --refresh

    This command registers your exporter, routes a copy of the exported metrics and logs to your configured third-party observability platform, and configures the prerequisites using placeholder values. The script includes placeholder PEM certificate data in the Altus credentials.

  2. Verification: Confirm that your exporter is registered ./obs-cli.sh list-exporters
  3. Review the full metrics configuration, which includes exporters, pipelines, and connectors: ./obs-cli.sh get-metric-configs

    You should see your exporter (for example, prometheusremotewrite/partner) and a corresponding metrics/... pipeline.
