Connecting Open-Source Monitoring Systems to AOM

AOM provides a unified entry for observability analysis of cloud services. Through the access center, you can create a common Prometheus instance to connect open-source monitoring systems to AOM.

Scenario

This type of instance is recommended when Prometheus servers have been built. The availability and scalability of Prometheus storage need to be ensured through remote write.

Creating a Common Prometheus Instance

  1. Log in to the AOM 2.0 console.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, create a common Prometheus instance through either of the following entries:

    • Entry 1:
      1. Choose Access Center > Access Center. The Access Center page is displayed. (To switch from the new access center to the old one, click Back to Old Version in the upper right corner.)
      2. In the Open-Source Monitoring panel, click the Common Prometheus instance card.
    • Entry 2:

      Choose Prometheus Monitoring > Instances and click Add Prometheus Instance.

  3. In the displayed dialog box, set an instance name, enterprise project, and instance type.
