This topic describes how to integrate cloud services, including the cloud services monitored in Hybrid Cloud Monitoring into Managed Service for Prometheus.

Prerequisites

A Prometheus instance for cloud services is created. For more information, see Create a Prometheus instance to monitor Alibaba Cloud services.

Go to the Integration Center page

  1. Log on to the ARMS console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Prometheus Service > Prometheus Instances.
  3. In the instance list, click the Prometheus instance for cloud services. You are redirected to the Integration Center page.
