Hi Team,

As part of an R&D, I am trying to fetch the edge agent and edge hub data exposed with Prometheus. But docker to docker communication is not happening. Prometheus couldn't scrap the data from these modules even after exposing the ports. Could anyone please help to resolve this issue. I have achieved this in Windows machine using EflowVm.

    Hello @Athira Gopinath(UST,IN) ,

    welcome to this moderated Azure community forum.

    Both the edgeAgent and edgeHub expose a Prometheus endpoint.

    Check out this blog post for more details.

    It also shows how to manage the Prometheus module.

    You use EFLOW but I expect the same settings are in place for you, even when the paths differ due to the Windows files system?

    Check the Prometheus local portal to see if it works as expected.

    Off topic: You are aware of the Metrics Collector module capable to send the data from the Prometheus endpoints to the cloud?
