how can I use prometheus_exporter with ipv6?

[zey1996]

I have a k8s cluster on IPv6, and the Vector pod works on IPv6.
I use the Vector prometheus exporter sink, and I know the address option.
I hope the prometheus exporter listens to the IPv6 address. How should I do it?
My IPv4 setting is 0.0.0.0:9090.

setting:

      prom_exporter:
        type: prometheus_exporter
        inputs: [internal_metrics]
        address: 0.0.0.0:9090

You can bind to an IPv6 address as well. The equivalent wildcard would be [::].

I try it address: [::]:9090. but I get a error:

2023-10-27T09:26:54.457134Z  INFO vector::app: Log level is enabled. level="info"
2023-10-27T09:26:54.457874Z  INFO vector::app: Loading configs. paths=["/etc/vector"]

vector is CrashLoopBackOff

I think you need to quote it: address: "[::]:9090". That error you see looks like a YAML parse error.
