Using sling conns

Here are examples of setting a connection named PROMETHEUS. We must provide the type=prometheus property:

$ sling conns set PROMETHEUS type=prometheus http_url=<http_url> api_key=<api_key> 

Environment Variable

export PROMETHEUS='{type: prometheus, http_url: "<http_url>", api_key: "<api_key>" }'

Sling Env File YAML

See here to learn more about the sling env.yaml file.

connections:
  PROMETHEUS:
    type: prometheus
    http_url: <http_url>
