Does the Prometheus monitoring service support pulling monitoring data through the Promethues pull mode?

Yes, the Prometheus monitoring service does support pulling monitoring data through the Prometheus pull mode.

Prometheus is an open-source monitoring system that collects metrics from configured targets at given intervals, evaluates rule expressions, displays the results, and can trigger alerts if some condition is observed to be true. It operates in a pull model, which means it actively fetches metrics from the services it monitors.

In the Prometheus pull mode, the Prometheus server pulls metrics from the target services over HTTP. Each target service needs to expose a metrics endpoint that Prometheus can scrape. This is in contrast to a push model, where the services would push metrics to a monitoring system.

For example, if you have a web application running on a server, you can configure it to expose a metrics endpoint. Prometheus server can then be configured to pull metrics from this endpoint at regular intervals. The metrics could include things like the number of requests per second, CPU usage, memory usage, etc.

Regarding cloud services, Tencent Cloud offers a Prometheus-compatible monitoring service called Cloud Monitor. It supports pulling monitoring data through the Prometheus pull mode, allowing you to easily monitor your applications and infrastructure on Tencent Cloud. You can configure Cloud Monitor to scrape metrics from your services and visualize them in the Cloud Monitor console or use them to set up alerts.
