Container Service for Kubernetes:ack-arms-prometheus component overview and release notes

Last Updated:Mar 26, 2026

ack-arms-prometheus is the monitoring component that connects Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) clusters to Managed Service for Prometheus. Install it when you want Prometheus monitoring in your ACK cluster—metrics collection, dashboards, and observability pipelines all depend on this component.

How it works

ack-arms-prometheus runs in your ACK cluster and continuously collects monitoring data. It forwards that data to Managed Service for Prometheus, which processes it to power dashboards and observability pipelines.

Without ack-arms-prometheus installed, Prometheus monitoring features are unavailable in your cluster.

Install and troubleshoot

To install ack-arms-prometheus or resolve issues with it, see Use Managed Service for Prometheus.
