Collect telemetry data from Smart Fabric Manager to Victoria DB (cluster mode)

This section describes how to configure Smart Fabric Manager to securely stream telemetry metrics to the Service Kubernetes cluster.

This procedure assumes that VictoriaMetrics is deployed in cluster mode in the telemetry namespace of the Service Kubernetes cluster. For more information, see the VictoriaMetrics cluster mode documentation.

Prerequisites

Make sure the following prerequisites are met:

A Service Kubernetes cluster is running with VictoriaMetrics deployed in the telemetry namespace.
External access to VictoriaMetrics is available through the following LoadBalancer ports:
- 8480 for ingesting data
- 8481 for querying data

Steps

Log in to the Omnia core container and go to the VictoriaMetrics certificate directory:
```
ssh omnia_core
cd /opt/omnia/telemetry/victoria-certs/
```

Add the LoadBalancer IP addresses for the VictoriaMetrics insert and select services to the /etc/hosts file:

echo "10.xx.xx.xx vminsert.telemetry.svc.cluster.local" >> /etc/hosts
echo "10.xx.xx.xx vmselect.telemetry.svc.cluster.local" >> /etc/hosts

Log in to Smart Fabric Manager for SONiC.
In the left navigation pane, select Observability, and then select the Settings tab.
Under Prometheus Remote Pump, select the option button next to vminsert-target, and then select Edit.

In the URL field, enter the following endpoint:

https://vminsert.telemetry.svc.cluster.local:8480/insert/0/prometheus/api/v1/write
