We observe that more and more applications and solutions offer their metrics in Prometheus format and there are also plenty of exporters out there to monitor all kinds of things.
I am convinced that a generic Prometheus metrics parser (similar mk_jolokia) would be a big benefit for checkmk, because then we could monitor more or less anything that offers its metrics in Prometheus format without needing Prometheus at all.
When a team starts using Prometheus because Checkmk couldn’t provide a simple solution for querying their metrics, the question quickly arises, why maintain two monitoring solutions when you can monitor everything with Prometheus?
