You can create a metric import task to import data from Prometheus to CloudMonitor. After data is imported from Prometheus to CloudMonitor, you can create a dashboard to view the monitoring chart of a specific metric.
Prerequisites
A namespace is created. For more information, see Create a namespace.
Background information
Prometheus metric data is generated based on the monitoring data that Prometheus collects from third-party cloud services by using the CloudMonitor agent.
