The author attended the PromCon conference in Munich where they gave a talk on integrating InfluxDB with Prometheus. They were inspired by the interest in more integration between the two systems and decided to bring native support for the Prometheus remote read and write API into InfluxDB. This new feature allows users to store scraped data from Prometheus in InfluxDB, mirroring the direction of their new data model and query language. The implementation differs slightly from the example remote storage adapter and ignores measurement and field names, instead putting everything into tags. The functionality is currently a beta and requires working with the nightly InfluxDB build and setting up Prometheus configs to use the new endpoints. Once rolled into InfluxDB Cloud, customers will be able to use it as a long-term store for their on-site Prometheus servers or for InfluxDB Enterprise customers, they'll have a clustered, highly available long-term data store for their Prometheus data.
