Get Started Sending Metric Data

We are going to send three curl requests with some dummy metric data to your Infrastructure Metrics endpoint. This guide is an adapted version of the VictoriaMetrics documentation here (opens in a new tab).

curl -d "GOOG,1.23,4.56,NYSE" "https://@metricsUsername:@metricsPassword@@metrics_id-vm.logit.io:@vmAgentPort/api/v1/import/csv?format=2:metric:ask,3:metric:bid,1:label:ticker,4:label:market"

curl -d "MSFT,3.21,1.67,NASDAQ" "https://@metricsUsername:@metricsPassword@@metrics_id-vm.logit.io:@vmAgentPort/api/v1/import/csv?format=2:metric:ask,3:metric:bid,1:label:ticker,4:label:market"

curl -d "0R2V.L,2.75,3.21,LSE" "https://@metricsUsername:@metricsPassword@@metrics_id-vm.logit.io:@vmAgentPort/api/v1/import/csv?format=2:metric:ask,3:metric:bid,1:label:ticker,4:label:market"

Viewing the Metric Data

Click the button below to open the infrastructure metrics visualizer:

You should now see the sample metrics stored in your stack.

In the visualizer, click on Explore in the side menu and in the Metric drop-down select 'ask'

and then the blue 'Run query' button in the top-right of the window

You will see dots appear in the right-hand side of the graph in the bottom part of the window. These are the 'metrics' we just sent as csv data to your Logit.io Infrastructure Metrics stack:

That's it! You have sent data to your stack and viewed it in Grafana. This is, of course, just the beginning. For more help sending data to your stack check out the following resources and if you need more help please feel free to contact us via Intercom.
