Steps
Add the prometheus_remote_write source plugin to a Telemetry Pipeline and set the required port parameter for the pipeline to listen on.
Point Prometheus's (or another remote-write client's) remote_write configuration at that pipeline endpoint, adjusting the uri parameter if it was customized away from the default /api/prom/push.
Enable tag_from_uri if ingested metrics should be tagged based on the URI path segment they arrived on.
Configure TLS options (tls, tls.verify, tls.ca_file, tls.crt_file, tls.key_file) if the pipeline needs to terminate TLS for incoming remote-write traffic.
Tune buffer_chunk_size, buffer_max_size, and mem_buf_limit if bursts of remote-write traffic need to be buffered without dropping records.
Known gotchas
This source plugin supports metrics only, not logs or traces — it should not be used expecting log or trace data to pass through it.
A single record larger than buffer_max_size is dropped rather than buffered, so undersized buffer settings can silently lose oversized batches.
