Log on to the ACK console. In the left navigation pane, click Clusters.
On the Clusters page, click the name of your cluster. In the left navigation pane, click .
-
On the Prometheus Monitoring page, click a dashboard tab to view the corresponding monitoring data.

Log on to the Managed Service for Prometheus console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Integration Management.
-
On the Integration Management page, click the Dashboard Query tab.
-
In the container environment section, select the target cluster.
Step 3: Configure alerts
Log on to the Managed Service for Prometheus console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Integration Management.
