Key Takeaways
- Prometheus Exporters – Specialized components (like the MySQL exporter) expose database metrics in a format Prometheus can scrape.
- Service Monitors – These custom resources configure Prometheus to discover and scrape metrics endpoints automatically.
- Secrets & Authentication – Exporters often rely on Kubernetes secrets for secure authentication against target services.
- Grafana Dashboards – Once data is scraped into Prometheus, Grafana provides ready-to-use dashboards for monitoring database performance.
