  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
    Grafana cloud

  • What are you trying to achieve?
    I am trying to send some metrics from telegraf to Grafana cloud prometheus

  • How are you trying to achieve it?
    I have the telegraf config and try to send metrics to prometheus but no luck

config

[[outputs.influxdb]]
 urls = ["https://prometheus-prod-10-prod-us-central-0.grafana.net/api/prom/api/v1/push/influx"]

How did you discover this URL (ChatGPT?)? I would recommend to follow instruction in your Grafana Cloud stack - Endpoint to send metrics in InfluxDB format

I find it in my account, data source - Prometheus

I follow this page here Push metrics from Influx Telegraf to Prometheus | Grafana Cloud documentation

Great. Then I think you don’t follow doc properly:

You need to replace prometheus with influx and change the path from /api/prom/push to api/v1/push/influx. For example if the remote_write endpoint is https://prometheus-prod-03-prod-us-central-0.grafana.net/api/prom/push, your influx endpoint will be https://influx-prod-03-prod-us-central-0.grafana.net/api/v1/push/influx

Yours:

https://prometheus-prod-10-prod-us-central-0.grafana.net/api/prom/api/v1/push/influx

vs what you should have based on doc:

https://influx-prod-10-prod-us-central-0.grafana.net/api/v1/push/influx

Try that, pls.

You are pushing data into non existing endpoint at the moment, so response 404 (not found) is correct.

i try the new endpoint but with the same error 404

[outputs.influxdb] When writing to [https://influx-prod-10-prod-us-central-0.grafana.net/api/v1/push/influx]: database “telegraf” creation failed: 404 Not Found: An error>

That’s different error - it is not a problem with URL, but with configured database (which is by default “telegraf”).
Try to find doc, what to set as proper database (blind guess: your stack name, maybe stack id - I don’t know).
