External Monitoring Data Ingestion
Sending data from external sources to the Mimir, Loki, and Tempo monitoring stack.
Network Restriction
The monitoring endpoints are only accessible from within the University network (LAN, Wi-Fi, or VPN). Access from the public internet is blocked.
Access Request
External data ingestion is not enabled by default. To send data from outside the Kubernetes cluster, request access via the request form, selecting the external access option for the services you need (Mimir, Loki, Tempo). See Request Monitoring Access for details on submitting the form.
You will receive your unique credentials (x-scope-orgid, x-secret or Basic Auth password) once the request is processed.
