Prometheus API access

Overview¶

It is possible to directly query the Prometheus API from the outside world at https://prometheus.<cluster_name>.2i2c.cloud.

Use cases include configuring Prometheus as a datasource for your own monitoring systems, such as AWS CloudWatch dashboards or another Grafana instance.

Steps¶

Sharing credentials to access your Prometheus instance from the outside world needs to be done securely. This is because Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is at risk if the credentials are compromised.

1. Send a support request to 2i2c

   • Ask for credentials to be provisioned for access to https://prometheus.<cluster_name>.2i2c.cloud

2. 2i2c will respond with a secure Bitwarden Send link that will expire in 7 days. Click the link to see the username and password. Store this securely, using Bitwarden or other similar secure password managers.

3. You can now access https://prometheus.<cluster_name>.2i2c.cloud with the username and password.
