Hi there,

I have a Kubernetes Cluster and I have installed Kong on my Kubernetes Cluster. Now I’m planning to configure my monitoring system. But I can’t fetch the metrics from the Kong to Prometheus. How can I collect metrics from Kong pod to My Prometheus? I’m a newbie . So please help/can you provide the step by step procedure to fetch the same from my end.

Regards,  
Subin

Hi,

Since [Kong 0.14.0](https://konghq.com/blog/announcing-kong-ce-0-14-0-including-zipkin-prometheus/), Kong ships with a [Prometheus plugin](https://github.com/Kong/kong-plugin-prometheus), whose README should have all the documentation you need, including how to retrieve the metrics.

Hope that helps,
