title: How to config and run VictoriaMetrics with Prometheus and Grafana?
body: <p>currently I'm working on a project of getting custom data, pushing it to Prometheus and visualizing it with Grafana.
  I've figured out that Prometheus doesn't store data, so I decided to use VictoriaMetrics.
  I downloaded vmutils and ran vmagent in cmd:</p>
  <pre><code>vmagent-windows-amd64-prod.exe 
  -promscrape.config=C:\Users\UserName\prometheus\prometheus.yml 
  -promscrape.config.strictParse=false 
  -remoteWrite.url=https://localhost:8429/api/v1/write
  </code></pre>
  <p>And in prometheus.yml I wrote this:</p>
  <pre><code>remote_write:
    - url: http://localhost:8429/api/v1/write
  </code></pre>
  <p>After running all this vmagent started pushing error messages like this with different bytes</p>
  <pre><code>warn VictoriaMetrics/app/vmagent/remotewrite.client.go:277 
  couldn't send a block with size 5508 bytes to &quot;1:secret-url&quot;: 
  Post &quot;http://localhost:8429/api/v1/write&quot;: http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client; 
  re-sending the block in 60.000 seconds
  </code></pre>
  <p>Also Garafana couldn't get data from 8429 port.</p>
  <p>Did I forget to config some files? Or am I running vmagent wrong?
  Thanks.</p>
