Managed Service for Prometheus seamlessly integrates with various Alibaba Cloud services, offering comprehensive metric data collection from cloud services.

Background information

  • Managed Service for Prometheus is capable of ingesting monitoring data from various Alibaba Cloud services and supports default Grafana dashboards and alerting rules.

  • Through Prometheus instances, you can uniformly collect, store, and display metrics.

  • Managed Service for Prometheus is natively integrated with other cloud services. After connecting the monitoring data of a cloud service via Integration Center or through default integrations, a corresponding Prometheus instance will be automatically created to store the related metric data.

Alibaba Cloud service

Description

Alibaba Cloud service

Description

Container services, including Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK), Container Compute Service (ACS), ACK Serverless, and ACK One

A corresponding Prometheus instance will be created for each container cluster to store the metric data collected from the container service.

Elastic Compute Service (ECS)

When integrating an ECS instance through Integration Center, a corresponding Prometheus instance will be created for the ECS instance and virtual private cloud (VPC). This Prometheus instance will store the metric data collected from the target ECS instance and all other ECS instances within the same VPC, consolidating the storage in the Prometheus instance.

Realtime Compute for Apache Flink

If a Flink workspace is monitored in Managed Service for Prometheus, a corresponding Prometheus instance will be created for each workspace to store the relevant metric data collected from Flink.

Other cloud services

After metrics from cloud services in the same region are integrated into Managed Service for Prometheus, a default Prometheus instance will be created to store the metric data related to those cloud services. Once metrics from other cloud services in that region are also integrated into Managed Service for Prometheus, these metrics will be uniformly stored in the same instance.

Note

After creating an instance with Managed Service for Prometheus, it defaults to integrating with Managed Service for Grafana Shared Edition for convenient data querying. In Managed Service for Grafana Shared Edition, corresponding data sources will be automatically created, named in the format of prom-${PrometheusInstanceId}.
