# Accessing VGS Metrics via Prometheus API To set up and configure the Observability Metrics service, please reach out to our support team at . Provide the following details in your request: * Your organization name. * The list of vaults you want to receive metrics for. Our support team will provide the Prometheus endpoints and credentials needed to access your metrics. ### Sample Connection Details If you want to receive metrics for the vault `tntasd123` in the organization `my-test-organization`, the endpoint and credentials might look like this: ```plaintext Prometheus API URL: https://metrics.apps.verygood.systems/vaults/tntasd123/api/metrics Username: prometheus Password: hunter2 ``` ### Scraping Data The Observability Metrics Prometheus endpoint exposes a `/metrics` endpoint that can be scraped from any Prometheus-compatible service. ### Prometheus Scrape Compatible APMs Many APMs will support entering the `/metrics` endpoint directly. If you use an APM like Grafana Cloud, you can pass the credentials in as basic auth credentials when configuring the endpoint. ### APMs without Prometheus Scrape If you have a Prometheus-compatible system that does not support scrape (e.g., you may need to leverage `remote_write` or `remote_read` you can still make this work by hosting your own Prometheus instance, which will scrape and then push or expose the metrics. ## Dashboard Templates VGS supplies a set of [pre-built](/enterprise-platform/core-platform-services/observability/metrics-templates.md) dashboards to get you up and running quickly. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
