Feedback

At the URL above it says:

If an attribute expects a capsule("prometheus.Receiver"), you can only assign a capsule("prometheus.Receiver") type. The specific type of capsule expected is explicitly documented for any component that uses or exports them.

In the following example, the prometheus.remote_write component exports a receiver, which is a capsule("prometheus.Receiver") type. You can use this capsule in the forward_to attribute of prometheus.scrape, which expects an array of capsule("prometheus.Receiver").

However, elsewhere in the documentation it says that these components consume and export prometheus.MetricsReceiver.

Therefore, I think you should change prometheus.Receiver -> prometheus.MetricsReceiver
