+title: Using Prometheus Operator
+---
+
+{{< toc >}}
+
+As an alternative to local files service discovery Prometheus also support discoveries form HTTP endpoints. In a Kubernetes setup, with the Prometheus operator, it makes more sense to use this [HTTP SD](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#http_sd_config) instead of mounting the output file of the `prometheus-pve-sd` to the container.
+
+The `prometheus-pve-sd` module doesn't have a dedicated HTTP endpoint, therefore you need to use a web server sidecar, that hosts the static file. The following deployment configuration can serve as a starting point for most setups, and just requires some minor adjustments, depending on your Kubernetes setup.
+
+## Kubernetes configuration
+
+Deployment configuration:
+
+```YAML
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: Deployment
+metadata:
+  creationTimestamp: null
+  labels:
+    app: proxmox-service-discovery
+  name: proxmox-service-discovery
+spec:
+  replicas: 1
+  selector:
+    matchLabels:
+      app: proxmox-service-discovery
+  strategy: {}
+  template:
+    metadata:
+      creationTimestamp: null
+      labels:
+        app: proxmox-service-discovery
+    spec:
+      containers:
+      - image: nginx
+        name: webserver
+        resources: {}
+        ports:
+        - containerPort: 80
+          protocol: TCP
+          name: http
+        volumeMounts:
+        - name: pve-sd-output
+          mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html
+      - image: thegeeklab/prometheus-pve-sd
+        name: prometheus-pve-sd
+        resources: {}
+        env:
+        - name: PROMETHEUS_PVE_SD_OUTPUT_FILE
+          value: /tmp/pve/proxmox.json
+        # Add more configurations here, or use a configMap or secret to inject the remaining configs
+        volumeMounts:
+        - name: pve-sd-output
+          mountPath: /tmp/pve/
+      volumes:
+        - name: pve-sd-output
+          emptyDir: {}
+status: {}
+```
+
+Additionally you will need a service, that exposes the HTTP endpoint within Kubernetes so Prometheus can scrape it.
+
+Service configuration:
+
+```YAML
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: Service
+metadata:
+  name: pve-sd-service
+spec:
+  selector:
+    app: proxmox-service-discovery
+  ports:
+    - protocol: TCP
+      port: 80
+      targetPort: 80
+```
+
+After configuring and starting the service, Prometheus need to be [configured](/usage/getting-started/#prometheus-configuration) to use the external service discovery.

+## Prometheus relabeling
+
+### Use IP address labels
+
+Instead of `__meta_pve_name`, it is also possible to configure Prometheus to use the address provided by `__meta_pve_ipv4` or `__meta_pve_ipv4` for connections:
+
+```YAML
+relabel_configs:
+- replacement: ${1}:9273
+  source_labels:
+  - __meta_pve_ipv4
+  target_label: __address__
+```
+
+### Convert tags to custom labels
+
+Tags of a node exposed by the `__meta_pve_tags` might be useful to build more complex configurations in Prometheus. As an example, an `alert` tag can be extracted to dine alerting routes based on the tag value.
+
+**Example:**
+
+Extract `group` and `alert` from a list of tags like this: `__meta_pve_tags="alert:team-1,group:cluster-1,node:node-1"`
+
+```YAML
+relabel_configs:
+- source_labels:
+  - __meta_pve_tags
+  regex: ".*group:([\w\-_]*)"
+  target_label: "group"
+  replacement: "${1}"
+- source_labels:
+  - __meta_pve_tags
+  regex: ".*alert:([\w\-_]*)"
+  target_label: "alert"
+  replacement: "${1}"
+```
+
+Use the extracted `alert` label to set an Alertmanager route:
+
+```YAML
+routes:
+- receiver: "empty"
+  matchers:
+  - alert = muted
+- receiver: "team-1"
+  matchers:
+  - alert = team-1
+```
