How to use Prometheus to monitor containers in Azure Monitor | Azure Friday

Keiko Harada joins Scott Hanselman to show how to use Prometheus to monitor containers in Azure Monitor. Prometheus is a popular open source metric monitoring solution and is a part of Cloud Native Compute Foundation. Customers who like the extensive metrics which Prometheus provides on Kubernetes also like how easy it is to use Azure Monitor for containers which provides fully managed, out of the box monitoring for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters.

How we can monitor AZURE PAAS through Prometheus? is there any way we can scrape the Prometheus metrics from the azure app services?

[@MicrosoftAzure]

Hi Prabhat, thanks for your patience on this. You can instrument your app using the right client library (Go, Rust, etc.) and Azure Monitor can work with it.

[@prabhatranjan5367]

@@MicrosoftAzure so that would required code changes at the client side .
Also , they have to pay for the azure monitor services.
Are there any ways to do it differently?
Correct my understanding here!

[@MrSarabsandhu]

can you guys show how grafana and its source was configured for your AKS cluster

Cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@baraneemanoharan1609]

whats vishiy/tools:promometricsv5?

[@OhDearBabajan]

of course that is grafana enterprse, otherwise how could you collect prometheus metrics? Does the open source version work with prometheus?

[@keikoharada4508]

We use our agent to collect the prometheus metrics which is added in the application thru Prometheus SDK or an exporter. Grafana is just used for dashboarding which we created. What does open source version means?
