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

Scenario

This type of instance is recommended when you have built Prometheus servers and need to ensure the availability and scalability of Prometheus storage through remote write.

Creating a Common Prometheus Instance

Log in to the AOM 2.0 console.
In the navigation pane on the left, use either of the following methods to create a common Prometheus instance:
- Method 1:
  1. Choose Access > 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.
- Method 2:
  Choose Prometheus Monitoring > Instances, and click Add Prometheus Instance.

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