The Prometheus agent is available for real-time 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.

The Prometheus forwarding agent stores metrics in a cache. The cached metrics are published in an endpoint which is scraped by Prometheus. 

You can configure a maximum number of metrics stored until Prometheus scrapes them. When you scrape a metric it is automatically deleted. You can also set an expiration time for a metric.

Compatibility with System Insight

It is possible to replace the System Insight agent with the Prometheus agent without making any changes to the existing workflows.
