We have many customers who like the extensive metrics which Prometheus provides on Kubernetes. However, they also like how easy it is to use <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/monitoring\/monitoring-container-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Azure Monitor for container<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/azure-monitor\/insights\/container-insights-overview\">s<\/a> which provides fully managed, out of the box monitoring for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters. We have been receiving requests to funnel the Prometheus data into Azure Monitor and today, we are excited to share Prometheus integration with Azure Monitor for containers is now in preview and brings together the best of two worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/adc3360f-3bfb-439c-90e8-7f2d6f28098b.webp\" alt=\"Flowchart illistrating how Promethues endpoints integrate with Azure Monitor for containers\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"Flowchart illistrating how Promethues endpoints integrate with Azure Monitor for containers\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typically, to use Prometheus you need to setup and manage a Prometheus server with a database. With the Azure Monitor integration, no Prometheus server is needed. You just need to expose the Prometheus end-point through your exporters or pods (application), and the containerized agent for Azure Monitor for containers can scrape the metrics for you. We have provided a seamless onboarding experience to collect Prometheus metrics with Azure Monitor. The example below shows how the coredns metrics, which is part of the kube-dns-metric, is collected into Azure Monitor for logs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/699f0f61-6b0b-47de-af1d-c3b90021bc43.webp\" alt=\"Screenshot example of how the coredns metrics is collected into Azure Monitor for logs\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"Screenshot example of how the coredns metrics is collected into Azure Monitor for logs\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also collect workload metrics from your containers by instrumenting Prometheus SDK into your application. The example below shows the collection of the <strong>prommetrics_demo_requests_counter<\/strong>. You can collect workload metrics through URL, endpoints, or pod annotation as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/0c191334-07c7-4d64-9c5c-7141302c2f4b.webp\" alt=\"Screenshot example showing the collection of the prommetrics_demo_requests_counter\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"Screenshot example showing the collection of the prommetrics_demo_requests_counter\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"full-stack-monitoring-with-azure-monitor-for-containers\">Full stack monitoring with Azure Monitor for containers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So how does Prometheus metrics fit in with the rest of the metrics including the recently added storage and network performance metrics that Azure Monitor for containers already provides. You can see how the metrics all fit together below. Azure Monitor for containers provides out of the box telemetry at the platform, container, orchestrator level, and to an extent the workload level. With the additional workload metrics from Prometheus you now get full stack, end to end monitoring view for your Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) in Azure Monitor for containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cfec160a-b003-45b0-87d3-bf54ac26bc5f.webp\" alt=\"Image of table showing how Prometheus telemetry fits in with other metrics\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"Image of table showing how Prometheus telemetry fits in with other metrics\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"visualizing-prometheus-metrics-on-azure-dashboard-and-alerting\">Visualizing Prometheus metrics on Azure dashboard and alerting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the metrics are stored in Azure Monitor logs, you can query against the metrics using Log Analytics with Kusto Query Language (KQL). Here\u2019s a sample query that instruments the Prometheus SDK.&nbsp; You can quickly plot the result using queries in the Azure portal.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: plain; auto-links: false; gutter: false; title: ; quick-code: false; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nInsightsMetrics\n| where Name == \"prommetrics_demo_requests_counter_total\"\n| extend dimensions=parse_json(Tags)\n| extend request_status = tostring(dimensions.request_status)\n| where request_status == \"bad\"\n| where TimeGenerated > todatetime('2019-07-02T09:40:00.000')\n| where TimeGenerated < todatetime('2019-07-02T09:54:00.000')\n| project request_status, Val, TimeGenerated | render timechart\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/e6965b89-7451-42c1-abd9-e00b916a543a.webp\" alt=\"Screenshot example of plotting results in Azure portal for a query that uses the embedded Prometheus library\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"Screenshot example of plotting results in Azure portal for a query that uses the embedded Prometheus library\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can pin the chart to your Azure dashboard and create your own customized dashboard.
