Introduction

With the Prometheus metric check, you can gather Prometheus metrics (using PromQL). Once gathered, you can optionally add a metric check on top. This capability is tremendously helpful in interacting with existing metric pipelines and Prometheus alerts.

Use Cases

• Leverage Prometheus alerts to validate a hypothesis.
• Validate that Prometheus alerting rules are functional, i.e., that they trigger during incidents.
• Try new alerting rules, e.g., from Awesome Prometheus Alerts.
• Collect Prometheus metrics for later visualization.
• Compare Prometheus metrics against each other.

Rollback

No rollback necessary.
