Migrate from core Prometheus to Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus

If you are using core Prometheus with SigV4 authentication, you must migrate to the Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus data source because SigV4 auth is deprecated in core Prometheus. This topic summarizes the steps required to migrate from core Prometheus to Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus. See a detailed list of steps here.

  • Get the UID for Prometheus using SigV4.
  • Get the UID for your new Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus.
  • Update dashboards with the new datasource UID.
  • Update alert rules by exporting provisioning files and updating the data source in the model or create new alert rules.
  • Recreate correlations.
  • Recreate recorded queries.
