Problem with managed Prometheus and AKS

Question

When starting a new AKS Cluster and enabling the managed Prometheus option I get the following result:

Following the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/containers/prometheus-metrics-troubleshoot guide, all seems to be working but no information is shown.

No information is available in the Monitor Workspace and the troubleshooting guide mentions nothing about this particular problem.

I'd appreciate some guidance on how to get the managed Prometheus working.

Hi @Milton Arango Giraldo,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

It seems from your query that you're having trouble enabling the managed Prometheus.

When you create a new AKS cluster in the Azure portal, you have to enable Prometheus, Container insights, and Grafana from the Monitoring tab. Make sure that you check the Enable Container Logs, Enable Prometheus metrics, and Enable Grafana checkboxes. As shown in below image.

Please refer to this link for detailed information: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/containers/kubernetes-monitoring-enable?tabs=cli#enable-full-monitoring-with-azure-portal

Ensure that you have Contributor RBAC permissions to enable managed Prometheus and required Monitoring Reader or Monitoring Contributor to view data after monitoring is enabled.
