HI All,

Are there any examples and documentation on how to connect Prometheus metrics collectors to Metricbeat? There is some for the Metricbeat side ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-metricset-prometheus-stats.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-metricset-prometheus-stats.html)) ; but what does it expect on the Prometeus side to be there?

Thanks!

Are you looking to monitor prometheus itself or getting data from exporters? The link you posted above is for prometheus itself. If you want to fetch metrics from exporters, have a look here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-metricset-prometheus-collector.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-metricset-prometheus-collector.html)
