prometheus metrics

This tag collects WindowsForum.com discussion of Prometheus metrics in cloud monitoring and observability work. The recent tagged content centers on Azure Monitor and its support for Prometheus metrics at scale, including Microsoft's general availability announcement for Metrics Usage Insights for Azure Monitor workspaces. That update adds an Ingestion Volume Change dashboard for tracking how metrics usage shifts over time, which matters to teams running large Prometheus metric volumes and trying to understand where that volume comes from and whether it is all needed. Coverage here is narrow and practical, focused on monitoring tooling and cost awareness rather than general Prometheus setup or configuration.
