# Consensus Client Targets

## Consensus Client Targets

Consensus client data is collected by Prometheus from three different sources:

1. Directly from the client metrics page
2. Indirectly from the client API via json\_exporter
3. Indirectly from the client API via Ethereum Metrics Exporter

We will review the configuration files for the first two here. Ethereum Metrics Exporter is covered in a later section.

If you would like to monitor more than one instance of the same client, please see the [Additional Modifications](https://docs.stakelocal.io/additional-modifications) section for details.
{% endhint %}

### Consensus Client Metrics Configuration

To configure the Prometheus target for client metrics, follow the instructions for your client below.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Lighthouse" %}
Edit the Lighthouse configuration file in the `/etc/prometheus/files_sd/stakelocal/consensus_metrics` directory.

```bash
sudo nano /etc/prometheus/files_sd/stakelocal/consensus_metrics/lighthouse.yml
```

It should look like the following.

```
    - targets: ['127.0.0.1:5054']
      labels:
        network: 'Mainnet'
        host: 'Default Host'
        service: 'Lighthouse Beacon'
        group: 'Default Group'
        explorer: 'beaconcha.in'
```

If this instance of Lighthouse is accessible at a different IP address or port, update those in the `targets` line.

Update the `network`, `host`, `service`, `group` and `explorer` labels, as needed. See [About Stake Local Labels](https://docs.stakelocal.io/dashboard-installation/prometheus-jobs-and-targets/about-stake-local-labels) for label definitions.

Save the file and exit the editor.
{% endtab %}
