# Sending Metrics with VM Agent

The Victoria Metrics Agent collects metrics from your infrastructure and applications using standard scraping mechanisms, then forwards them to Kloudfuse via the Prometheus Remote Write protocol. This guide covers the essential setup steps, including Helm installation and configuration, to connect your metrics source to the Kloudfuse platform.

You can use the Victoria Metrics Agent to scrape metrics from a source, and then send them to Kloudfuse using the Prometheus Remote Write protocol.

## Helm Installation

1. Ensure that in the `values.yaml` file, `remoteWrite` configuration points to the Kloudfuse stack.

2. Add `http://<REPLACE KFUSE ADDRESS>/write` as one of the entries in the `remoteWrite` section of the file. Use http or https protocols, depending on your scenario.

```yaml
   remoteWrite:
   - url: http://<REPLACE KFUSE ADDRESS>/write
   ```

3. Install the Victoria Metrics Agent; replace `NAMESPACE` with the namespace where you install the agent.

```console
   helm upgrade --install vma oci://ghcr.io/victoriametrics/helm-charts/victoria-metrics-agent -f values.yaml -n NAMESPACE
   ```
