Leveraging Prometheus Service Monitor and Pod Monitor for Enhanced Kubernetes Monitoring
summary
Shows how Prometheus Operator + kube-prometheus-stack replaces huge scrape configs and gives declarative targets via ServiceMonitor and PodMonitor, using a Python Flask app instrumented with the Prometheus client to emit counters, histograms and enums. Demonstrates creating ServiceMonitor CRD, port‑forwards Prometheus and Grafana, and visualizes latency and 500 counts; the demo mostly scrapes but occasionally lags, underscoring why operator-managed monitors are easier to maintain in Kubernetes.
