Description


Managed Prometheus visualizations in Azure Monitor are now generally available, along with an enhanced, unified monitoring experience for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). 


This release brings comprehensive monitoring capabilities into a single, streamlined view—designed to address common challenges customers face when managing AKS clusters. Previously, Container insights visualizations were powered by metric data from Log Analytics. Customers now have the option to power these visualizations using managed Prometheus data, offering a more cost-efficient and performant solution.  


With this feature, customers can: 

  • Optimize costs by migrating from Log Analytics based metrics to managed Prometheus 
  • Improve performance with faster metric query response times 
  • Integrate with the new Prometheus based recommended alerts 
  • Gain visibility into control plane metrics for deeper troubleshooting 
  • Monitor at scale with the improved multi-cluster view
