How to keep metrics in VictoriaMetrics

Store check metrics in VictoriaMetrics

RMON can use VictoriaMetrics for monitoring measurements displayed on check charts. This setting does not add CPU, memory or other host checks to RMON.

Configure and verify

1. Prepare an accessible VictoriaMetrics instance using its official documentation.
2. As the installation administrator, select the Default group and open Admin area → Settings → RMON.
3. Set victoria_metrics_insert and victoria_metrics_select to the complete write and query URLs for your deployment. Single-node and cluster installations use different paths.
4. Enable use_victoria_metrics.
5. Allow enabled checks to produce new results, open a check from the Dashboard and verify that recent measurements appear.

The enable switch and query endpoint apply to the installation. Configure the write endpoint in the Default group used by the receiver.

Confirm network access from the result server to the write endpoint and from RMON to the query endpoint. Enabling the setting does not import older history. Manage VictoriaMetrics retention and backups separately from the RMON database.
