Resource Settings

MetricsHub collects metrics from the resources defined in its configuration file(s). A resource can be a host, an application, or any other component of your IT infrastructure.

Each resource is typically associated with a site (a physical or logical location like a data center or business unit). In highly distributed infrastructures, resources can also be organized into resource groups.

You can configure resources in three ways:

• through the Web Interface (recommended for most environments)
• manually in YAML files (intended for advanced users)
• programmatically (recommended for large environments).

Regardless of the method, you must specify:

• the resource's host type
• the protocols and credentials required to connect to it.
