Use Prometheus exporters for common workloads with managed service for Prometheus

You can use Prometheus exporters to collect metrics from the following sources and send them to an Azure Monitor workspace:

• Non-Microsoft workloads or other applications
• The Azure Monitor managed service for Prometheus feature running on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) or Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes

The enablement of managed Prometheus automatically deploys the custom resource definitions (CRDs) for pod monitors and service monitors.

You can configure any Prometheus exporter to work with managed service for Prometheus. For more information, see Customize collection by using CRDs (service and pod monitors).

This article lists commonly used workloads that have curated configurations and instructions to help you set up metrics collection from the workloads. These workloads apply only to managed service for Prometheus. For self-managed Prometheus, refer to the relevant exporter documentation for setting up metrics collection.

Common workloads

• Apache Kafka
• Argo CD
• Elasticsearch
• Istio
• NVIDIA DCGM (GPU metrics)
