This section describes the Prometheus forwarding agent. The Prometheus agent is available for both real-time and batch workflow configurations. This agent lets you publish metrics in a format that can be scraped by a Prometheus instance. The metrics can then be visualized using Grafana. Follow the official Grafana documentation here: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/. To configure Prometheus, see https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/overview/.

Use the Prometheus filter to configure the metrics that are going to be exposed for scraping, see 9.57.3 The Prometheus Filter.
