Seamless Integration - Take Kubernetes into your Existing Monitoring Stack
summary
IBM cloud team describes a concrete integration: adapters that translate Prometheus targets into an existing metric store, a Kubernetes controller that discovers services and creates dynamic exporter targets, and dashboards that show cluster and pod metrics. Uses Prometheus with remote_write (Prometheus 1.9 era) to offload storage, and an exporter-only controller to avoid running many Prometheus instances. Results claim lower query load, centralized alerts with a correlation engine, and reduced false positives.
