Prometheus
We prepared SSL/TLS, so you can access the Prometheus application using https://{EC2-PUBLIC-HOST-ADDRESS}/prometheus.
When you access the Prometheus application, you will receive a certificate error as shown below. This is due to the fact that the configuration for SSL/TLS is using a self-signed dummy certificate.
For simplicity, click on the “ShowDetails” button, and click the link “visit this website” to access Prometheus. If you want to set up a CA signed certificate, please refer to the following document: Step 2: Obtain a CA-signed Certificate.
Once you proceed, you will see a basic authentication dialog box as shown below.
Prometheus basic authentication password
You can find the password by accessing the System Log in the EC2 management console.
- Go to Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.
