Integrating cloud service metrics with Managed Service for Prometheus

Cloud Monitor metrics

For a list of metrics supported by Cloud Monitor, see Metrics for cloud services. All cloud service metrics can theoretically be integrated into Managed Service for Prometheus. If the cloud service that you want to integrate is not available in the Integration Center, you can submit a ticket.

For Managed Service for Prometheus agent versions V1.1.32(v5.1-e0c90c68) and later, metrics from integrated cloud products are automatically aligned with Cloud Monitor metrics. This means that new metrics reported to Cloud Monitor by a cloud product are automatically ingested into Managed Service for Prometheus without requiring additional configuration. After ingestion, the metric names are automatically prefixed with Aliyun${ProductName}_ to prevent naming conflicts between different cloud products. For example, after the CPUUtilization metric of Elastic Compute Service (ECS) is ingested into Managed Service for Prometheus, the corresponding metric name is AliyunEcs_CPUUtilization. When Cloud Monitor metrics are ingested into Prometheus, metrics for the cloud service instance are ingested from all regions.

Conversion rules for Cloud Monitor metrics integrated into Prometheus

Metric names are converted to the following format: Aliyun${ProductName}_${MetricName}

• ${MetricName}: Special characters in the original Cloud Monitor metric name (any character other than letters, numbers, and underscores) are replaced with underscores (_).

• ${ProductName} standard rules: The product name is derived from the namespace of the cloud service metric according to the following rules.

  • Remove the acs_ prefix.

  • Remove the _dashboard suffix.

  • Remove the underscores (_).

  • Capitalize the first letter of the product name abbreviation and convert the rest to lowercase.

  ${ProductName} special rules: For historical reasons, some cloud services use custom ProductName values. The following table lists these exceptions.

Advanced metrics

Managed Service for Prometheus collects advanced metrics directly from cloud services. These metrics are more detailed and have shorter collection intervals. Currently, only some products support advanced metrics. Unlike Cloud Monitor metrics, the integration of advanced metrics does not support instances across all regions, and the default integration policy varies by product. The original names of advanced metrics are retained and not renamed during integration.

The following cloud services support advanced metric integration:

Storage policy

When cloud service metrics are integrated with Managed Service for Prometheus, a Prometheus instance is automatically created for storage. For more information about storage policies, see Data storage description.
