Observability

DevOpsArk + Prometheus

Read existing metrics, or replace the collector

Vendor: CNCF

Short answer

What does the DevOpsArk Prometheus integration do?

The DevOpsArk Prometheus integration reads metrics from existing Prometheus servers, aggregates them across clusters, retains them beyond local retention and adds behavioural baselines and cross-signal correlation.

Capabilities

What the Prometheus integration provides

  • Query existing Prometheus servers across clusters through one interface.
  • Aggregate and retain metrics beyond local Prometheus retention.
  • Import Prometheus alerting rules and evaluate them with correlation and suppression.
  • Add behavioural baselines so alerting no longer depends only on static thresholds.
  • Correlate Prometheus metrics with logs, traces and deployment events.
  • Ingest Prometheus exposition format directly where you prefer not to run Prometheus.
Access

Exactly what is read, and what can be written

Read and write are separate grants. Nothing in the write column happens unless you explicitly allow it.

Read
  • Time series via the Prometheus HTTP API
  • Recording and alerting rule definitions
  • Target and scrape health
  • Exposition-format endpoints scraped directly
Write, only if granted
  • No writes to Prometheus. Rule changes remain in your own configuration management.

  4. 4
    Set retention

    Choose how long DevOpsArk retains the aggregated series beyond local retention.
