@bohandley , images are stored in the website repo and then you can add a reference to that image here. For image guidelines, take a look at https://grafana.com/docs/writers-toolkit/writing-guide/image-guidelines/.

| 1. Confirm that Prometheus is running by navigating to `http://localhost:9090`. |

Maybe we want to call out that 9090 is the default port, but could change depending on their prometheus installation? Either that or add the prometheus config above that includes the 9090 target, so it's obvious where that's coming from (not everyone will know that 9090 is the default port for prom like we do)

Part of G10 Getting started with Prometheus
Fixes #60599
What is this:
This docs page assists a user with starting a Prometheus instance but it is missing key data to connect Prometheus with Grafana. This draft updates the tutorial to send metrics to Grafana Cloud.
This draft also needs images, so I need to find where we can store those to reference them in the md file.
Who is this for?
New users of Prometheus and Grafana
Why?
Using the Prometheus installation guide asks the user to create a Prometheus instance that is running locally. The docs do not reflect this in the configuration set up. If a user creates a local Prom instance they must do either of the following:
This information is not provided clearly in the tutorial and these two workflows are very different for a new user.
