Application Real-Time Monitoring Service:Why am I charged additional fees when I use Managed Service for Prometheus?

Last Updated:Jan 03, 2024

Cause

This may be because the built-in service discovery feature of Managed Service for Prometheus collects metrics for your application.

The service discovery feature of Managed Service for Prometheus includes default service discovery, ServiceMonitor, PodMonitor, and custom service discovery.

  • After your application is connected to Managed Service for Prometheus, default service discovery is automatically enabled to collect metrics from the application.

  • To enable ServiceMonitor, PodMonitor, and custom service discovery, you must manually add and configure them.

Then, metrics are collected based on your configurations. This may cause additional fees.

Solution

To stop the billing, you can disable the corresponding service discovery.
