Integration Center provides out-of-the-box observability for most cloud monitoring targets, including infrastructure, server-side applications, frontend applications, databases, middleware, artificial intelligence, and big data products. It serves as the starting point for Prometheus-based monitoring and lets you extend coverage with custom metrics.
What is the Integration Center
Setting up a Prometheus-based observability stack from scratch requires assembling multiple components: exporters to expose metrics, scrapers to collect them, storage backends to retain them, and visualization tools to surface them. Each component requires significant configuration and ongoing maintenance.
Integration Center removes that overhead. It provides pre-built, Prometheus-based integrations for a broad range of cloud monitoring targets, so you can start collecting metrics without manual Prometheus configuration.

How it works
Integration Center uses Prometheus as its metrics backbone. Activating an integration connects your monitoring target to the platform's observability stack, giving you immediate visibility without manual Prometheus configuration.
Because integrations are pluggable, you can extend coverage beyond the built-in catalog by adding custom metrics or connecting targets not yet supported out of the box.
