Use Azure Monitor Metrics in Kubernetes with Prometheus and Promitor
Prometheus has become the default metrics collection mechanism for use in a Kubernetes cluster, providing a way to collect the time series metrics for your pods, nodes and clusters. This metric collection allows you to monitor for issues, review performance over time, and also provide metrics to be used by the scaling functionality in Kubernetes. Both the Pod and Cluster auto-scaler can take custom metrics from Prometheus and use these to determine if they can scale out.
