# Monitor Tencent Cloud with Nightingale

Scrape Cloud Monitor metrics converted to Prometheus format by the tencentcloud-exporter; templates cover CVM, CKafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, TDSQL-C and load balancers.

Last reviewed 2026-10-13

Tencent Cloud metrics come from its Cloud Monitor service. The `tencentcloud-exporter` maintained by Tencent Cloud converts them per product into Prometheus metrics named `qce_<product>_<metric>`, which the Categraf `prometheus` input scrapes.

The templates ship one dashboard per product: CVM instances, CKafka, Cloud PostgreSQL, Redis (memory edition), TDSQL-C for MySQL, and public and private load balancers. The metric reference further down lists Tencent Cloud's monitoring metrics per product with meaning, unit and dimensions.

## What's in the template[​](#whats-in-the-template "Direct link to What's in the template")

* **7 dashboards**, 137 panels in total

## How to connect[​](#how-to-connect "Direct link to How to connect")

Deploy the [tencentcloud-exporter](https://github.com/TencentCloud/tencentcloud-exporter) and configure it with an API key plus the products and regions to collect. Once `http://<exporter>:9123/metrics` responds, scrape it with the Categraf `prometheus` input:

```
# conf/input.prometheus/tencentcloud.toml

interval = 60



[[instances]]

urls = ["http://<exporter>:9123/metrics"]

labels = { job = "tencentcloud" }
```

1. Open the integration center in Nightingale, find Tencent Cloud, and [import the dashboards and alert rules](https://n9e.github.io/docs/data/integrations/import.md) into a business group.
2. Imported rules start disabled. [Check that the metrics are arriving](https://n9e.github.io/docs/data/integrations/verify.md) first, then enable the rules one by one with thresholds that fit your environment.
