I am using Prometheus with Grafana to monitor KongAPI Gateway by enabling Prometheus plugin on Kong.

Our Kong architecture uses a dedicated one server for Control Plane and another two servers for Data Plane.

Do I need to enable Prometheus plugin on the three servers ?

Are Metrics of the servers different so that I need to configure Prometheus to collect the metrics from all servers ?

Your support is highly appreciated.
