hey @rangira, thanks for the PR! Ideally, we would not want to have product specific code inside Thundernetes. Any chance we can have Azure Monitor grab the already existing Prometheus metrics? If this is not possible, we can always have an external component on the ThundernetesContrib repository: https://github.com/PlayFab/thundernetescontrib

Thanks again for the contribution and apologies for the inconvenience!

Would this work, for example? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/containers/container-insights-prometheus-integration

@dgkanatsios Thank you for sharing that. Could you please help me understand what are referring to when you say "product specific code". Are you referring to azure sdk for appinsights? Should it not be imported?
I can take a look at link

[dgkanatsios]

Yeah, the "AppInsights" code, exactly. At this point, we want to have these available as "extensions", hence the existence of the "ThundernetesContrib" repository as we want the Thundernetes core code base to be as lean as possible. Apologies again for the inconvenience and thanks for understanding, lets us know if you have any more questions!

ping @rangira, any help needed? Appreciate all the hard work!
