Query your Prometheus metrics

Now that metrics are being ingested to the workspace, you can query them. A common way to query your metrics is to use a service such as Grafana to query the metrics. In this section, you will learn how to use Amazon Managed Grafana to query metrics from Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus.

This section assumes you already have a workspace created, and are ingesting metrics into it.

You perform your queries using the standard Prometheus query language, PromQL. For more information about PromQL and its syntax, see Querying Prometheus in the Prometheus documentation.

Amazon Managed Grafana is a fully managed service for open-source Grafana that simplifies connecting to open-source, third-party ISV, and AWS services for visualizing and analyzing your data sources at scale.

Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus supports using Amazon Managed Grafana to query metrics in a workspace. In the Amazon Managed Grafana console, you can add an Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus workspace as a data source by discovering your existing Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus accounts. Amazon Managed Grafana manages the configuration of the authentication credentials that are required to access Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus. For detailed instructions on creating a connection to Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus from Amazon Managed Grafana, see the instructions in the Amazon Managed Grafana User Guide.

You may also view your Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus alerts in Amazon Managed Grafana. For instructions to set up integration with alerts, see Integrate alerts with Amazon Managed Grafana or open source Grafana.
