Collect Prometheus Metrics
Sysdig is compatible with Prometheus HTTP API, allowing you to query your monitoring data programatically using PromQL, and extend Sysdig’s functionality to other platforms, such as Grafana.
A lightweight Prometheus server is directly embedded into the Sysdig agent to facilitate metric collection. Use Prometheus syntax to filter and label targets, instances and jobs, and configure the agent to identify processes that expose Prometheus metric endpoints on its own host and send findings to the Sysdig collector for storing and further processing.
Prerequisites
You do not need to install Prometheus to collect Prometheus metrics.
