 Here there are two target groups one group with source `file1` and another with `file2`. The grouping is implementation specific and could even be one target per group. But, one has to make sure every target group sent by an SD instance should have a `Source` which is unique across all the target groups of that SD instance. 

 In this case, both the target groups are sent down the channel the first time `Run()` is called. Now, for an update, we need to send the whole _changed_ target group down the channel. i.e, if the target with `hostname: demo-postgres-2` goes away, we send:
-```
+```go
 &targetgroup.Group{
-  Targets: []model.LabelSet{
-     {
-        "__instance__": "10.11.122.11:6001",
-        "hostname": "demo-postgres-1",
-        "test": "simple-test",
-     },
-  },
-  Labels: map[LabelName][LabelValue] {
-    "job": "postgres",
-  },
-  "Source": "file2", 
+	Targets: []model.LabelSet{
+		{
+			"__instance__": "10.11.122.11:6001",
+			"hostname":     "demo-postgres-1",
+			"test":         "simple-test",
+		},
+	},
+	Labels: model.LabelSet{
+		"job": "postgres",
+	},
+	"Source": "file2",
 }
 ```
 down the channel.

 If all the targets in a group go away, we need to send the target groups with empty `Targets` down the channel. i.e, if all targets with `job: postgres` go away, we send:
-```
+```go
 &targetgroup.Group{
-  Targets: nil,
-  "Source": "file2", 
+	Targets:  nil,
+	"Source": "file2",
 }
 ```
 down the channel.

+### The Config interface
+
+Now that your service discovery mechanism is ready to discover targets, you must help
+Prometheus discover it. This is done by implementing the `discovery.Config` interface
+and registering it with `discovery.RegisterConfig` in an init function of your package.
+
+```go
+type Config interface {
+	// Name returns the name of the discovery mechanism.
+	Name() string
+
+	// NewDiscoverer returns a Discoverer for the Config
+	// with the given DiscovererOptions.
+	NewDiscoverer(DiscovererOptions) (Discoverer, error)
+}
+
+type DiscovererOptions struct {
+	Logger log.Logger
+}
+```
+
+The value returned by `Name()` should be short, descriptive, lowercase, and unique.
+It's used to tag the provided `Logger` and as the part of the YAML key for your SD
+mechanism's list of configs in `scrape_config` and `alertmanager_config`
+(e.g. `${NAME}_sd_configs`).
+
 ### New Service Discovery Check List

 Here are some non-obvious parts of adding service discoveries that need to be verified:

- Check for `nil` SDConfigs in `discovery/config/config.go`.
 - Validate that discovery configs can be DeepEqualled by adding them to
  `config/testdata/conf.good.yml` and to the associated tests.
- If there is a TLSConfig or HTTPClientConfig, add them to
-  `resolveFilepaths` in `config/config.go`.
+
+- If the config contains file paths directly or indirectly (e.g. with a TLSConfig or
+  HTTPClientConfig field), then it must implement `config.DirectorySetter`.
+
+- Import your SD package from `prometheus/discovery/install`. The install package is
+  imported from `main` to register all builtin SD mechanisms.
+
 - List the service discovery in both `<scrape_config>` and
  `<alertmanager_config>` in `docs/configuration/configuration.md`.
