Improving Monitoring Systems Interoperability with Prometheus & OpenMetrics
summary
Demonstrates that OpenMetrics makes Prometheus-format metrics portable by showing a live setup: VM simulating two IoT devices runs two apps plus two agents that filter and export metrics in OpenMetrics text, send via push gateway, the server re-exposes them and both Prometheus and Datadog ingest the same streams. Shows concrete changes—OpenMetrics exposes timestamps in seconds and adds explicit units, counter/summary/histogram handling and optional push support. Built demo runs end-to-end and interoperates; OpenMetrics is a CNCF sandbox project with parsers and tooling still maturing.
