Prometheus metrics logging
Prometheus is a monitoring and observability tool that can incorporate data from the Automation controllers via /api/v2/metrics/. Using the data reported over time, we can gather information about user sessions, the number of jobs running on each node, and license counts. All of the data that’s been tracked can be viewed in the metrics endpoint. Now, let’s learn how to install and configure Prometheus so that it can be connected to the Automation controller.
