   • How to get a token for a federated account.

Sample requestSample request

1. Create a file with the request body, e.g., body.json. In the metrics property, specify the list of metrics to write. Send the required labels in the query parameters and additional labels in the request body.

   body.json:

   {
       "metrics": [
           {
               "name": "temperature",
               "labels": {
                   "building": "office",
                   "room": "openspace"
               },
               "value": 18.6
           }
       ]
   }
   

2. Send the request and save the response to a file, e.g., output.json:

   export IAM_TOKEN=CggaATEVAgA...
   curl \
     --request POST \
     --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
     --header "Authorization: Bearer ${IAM_TOKEN}" \
     --data '@body.json' \
     'https://monitoring.api.cloud.yandex.net/monitoring/v2/data/write?folderId=aoe6vrq0g3sv********&service=custom' > output.json
   

   Response example:

   output.json:

   {
       "metrics_written":"1"
   }
