Managed Service for Prometheus provides several ways to query metric data. This topic describes how to query metrics in the Alibaba Cloud console, Grafana, and a self-managed Prometheus system.
Prerequisites
You have activated Managed Service for Prometheus and connected at least one component. For more information, see Manage components.
Query metrics in the console
Log on to the ARMS console.
In the navigation pane on the left, click Integration Management.
On the Integration Management page, click the Integrated Environments tab, and then click the name of the target environment.
On the details page, click the Metrics Explorer tab.
In the Explore section, enter a Metric name, add a key-value pair in the Labels text box, and then click Run query in the upper-right corner of the page.

Click Code to switch to the PromQL statement input mode. For more information about PromQL syntax, see the official Prometheus documentation.
Query metrics in Grafana
Managed Service for Prometheus provides an HTTP API endpoint so that you can integrate Prometheus monitoring data into Grafana or retrieve monitoring data through the Prometheus API during custom development. For more information, see Adding Prometheus Data in Grafana.
Query metrics in a self-managed Prometheus system
Managed Service for Prometheus provides a standard Remote Read interface. This interface lets you remotely access monitoring data from your cloud-based Prometheus instance. For more information, see Use a Remote Read endpoint to access cloud-based Prometheus data from a self-managed Prometheus system.
