VAST Data prometheusmetrics API is one of 126 APIs that [VAST Data](https://apis.io/providers/vastdata/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include prometheusmetrics. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and SDKs.

prometheusmetrics is VAST's Prometheus exporter resource. Prometheus is an open-source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit that provides a data model for describing and recording metrics over time and also provides a web application to display those metrics. Prometheus can be configured to fetch metrics from a third party system (such as in this case VAST Cluster) by means of a software entity called a Prometheus exporter. A Prometheus exporter collects metrics from a third party system, converts them to Prometheus metrics and exposes them via a resource path. The VAST prometheus exporter can fetch pre-defined metrics from the VMS database and return the data as a plain/text key-value format response. You can configure the Prometheus server to scrape the metrics from the exporter at a chosen interval and display the VMS metrics through its display applications.
