This articles introduces the main features of the connector, the reasoning behind design decisions. + +This connector allows writing data to Prometheus using the [Remote-Write](https://prometheus.io/docs/specs/remote_write_spec/) push interface, which lets you write time-series data to Prometheus at scale. + +## Motivations for a Prometheus connector + +Prometheus is an efficient time-series database optimized for building real-time dashboards and alerts, typically in combination with Grafana or other visualization tools. + +Prometheus is commonly used to monitor compute resources, IT infrastructure, Kubernetes clusters, applications, and cloud resources. It can also be used to observe your Flink cluster and Flink jobs. Flink already has [Metric Reporters](https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-master/docs/deployment/metric_reporters/) to export metrics to Prometheus. Review Comment: Not sure the new sentence works. I am changing to: > Prometheus is commonly used to monitor compute resources, IT infrastructure, Kubernetes clusters, applications, and cloud resources.

Flink **existing** [Metric Reporters](https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-master/docs/deployment/metric_reporters/) **has this purpose**. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
