     1  # Host Metrics with Google Managed Prometheus
     2  
     3  The Host Metrics Receiver can be used to send system metrics from an agent host to Google Managed Prometheus. See the [documentation](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/receiver/hostmetricsreceiver) for more details.

     9  ## Configuration
    10  
    11  An example configuration is located [here](./config.yaml).
    12  
    13  1. Copy [config.yaml](./config.yaml) to `/opt/observiq-otel-collector/config.yaml`
    14  2. Restart the agent: `sudo systemctl restart observiq-otel-collector`
    15  
    16  ## Process metrics
    17  
    18  The host metrics receiver supports per process cpu, memory, disk, and network metrics. This feature requires elevated privileges. On Linux, you must update the service configuration to run the agent as the root user. See the [installation documentation](https://github.com/observIQ/bindplane-agent/blob/main/docs/installation-linux.md#configuring-the-agent) for instructions.
