Yes that's correct, but you'll find it easier to use file_sd_configs. The
YAML is basically the same:
- targets:
- ...
- ...
labels:
...: ...
but by putting it in a separate file, you don't need to touch
prometheus.yml. Also, prometheus automatically picks up when file_sd files
change (you don't need to HUP prometheus)
You might also want to look at this:

It's very helpful to keep the exporter port out of the instance label, so
you end up with
foo{instance="x.x.x.x"}
instead of
foo{instance="x.x.x.x:9187"}
Indeed, it may be a good idea to keep the IP address out of the instance
label, and use a meaningful name like
foo{instance="db1"}
but set the __address__ to be x.x.x.x:9187 so this is what gets scraped.
