Monitoring .NET Core applications on Kubernetes

Prometheus is an open source monitoring solution that collects metrics from the system and its applications. As a developer, you can query these metrics and use them to create alerts, which you can use as a source for dashboards. One example would be using Prometheus metrics with Grafana. In this article, I show you how to use Prometheus to monitor a .NET Core application running on Kubernetes. Note that installation instructions are not included with the article. I do include a reference for using the Prometheus Operator to create and configure Prometheus on Kubernetes.
