Disable Managed Prometheus Visualizations on AKS

Question

Disable Managed Prometheus Visualizations on AKS

Zeinab Khosravi 60

Hello all,

I have an AKS cluster that uses Azure Managed Prometheus metric collection. I wanted to disable the collection of Perf metrics, as they were not necessary. After doing that, I accidentally enabled the "Managed Prometheus Visualizations (Preview)" on the Insights tab under Monitoring section in the AKS cluster, and that created some new rule groups and started showing the Perf metrics on the insights tab! I was wondering how I can disable this feature, since the disabling seems to be greyed out:

Is it enough to remove the created rule groups, or will that make things worse?

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Regards

Hi @Zeinab Khosravi ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, thank you for posting your query here!

Please try to click on Monitor Settings

Click on Azure Monitor Workspace and delete it

Disabling Managed Prometheus Visualizations (Preview) on your AKS cluster can have implications depending on how you are using this feature. Here's an overview of potential impacts:

Loss of Built-in Visualizations in Azure Portal:

Impact: The metrics collected and displayed in the Insights tab under Monitoring for your AKS cluster will no longer be visible.

Reason: The feature provides pre-configured charts and dashboards for Prometheus metrics, which are automatically removed when the feature is disabled.

Rule Groups and Alerts:

Impact: If the feature created Managed Rule Groups or Alerts (e.g., for Perf metrics or other system metrics), these might no longer function or appear.

Mitigation: Manually reconfigure alerts or create custom rules using Azure Monitor or your Prometheus setup.

No Effect on Metrics Collection:

Impact: Disabling the visualization feature will not stop Prometheus from collecting metrics if you've set up custom scraping configurations or are using Prometheus independently.

Mitigation: If you want to stop collecting metrics entirely, ensure you've removed any custom configurations or scrape targets. Disabling Managed Prometheus. Please let me know how it goes, we are always here to help whenever you need us. Report a concern

Hey @Ashok Gandhi Kotnana

Thank you for your answer. I don't want to delete the Azure monitor Workspace, I use it for metric collections and monitoring. I just want to disable the visualization! Upon enabling the Visualization, new Prometheus Rule Groups were created with the names UXRecordingRulesRuleGroup and UXRecordingRulesRuleGroup-Win. Is it enough to just remove these rule groups?

Hi @Zeinab Khosravi

Yes, it worked for me. To disable the visualizations by deleting specific rules in the rule group, you won't find these options directly in the Azure portal to delete it. Please use the following PowerShell commands to remove these rule groups

We need to delete the below two rules from the rule group UXRecordingRulesRuleGroup UXRecordingRulesRuleGroup-Win


$resourceGroup = "ashok-1"
$aksClusterName = "test"
Remove-AzPrometheusRuleGroup -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup -RuleGroupName "UXRecordingRulesRuleGroup-Win"
Remove-AzPrometheusRuleGroup -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup -RuleGroupName "UXRecordingRulesRuleGroup"

**After Deleting the Rule group Back to normal the Visualization board
