Query using Prometheus-compatible APIs

Although using a tool such as Amazon Managed Grafana is the easiest way to view and query your metrics, Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus also supports several Prometheus-compatible APIs that you can use to query your metrics. For more information about all the available Prometheus-compatible APIs, see Prometheus-compatible APIs.

When you use these APIs to query your metrics, the requests must be signed with the AWS Signature Version 4 signing process. You can set up AWS Signature Version 4 to simplify the signing process. For more information, see aws-sigv4-proxy.

Signing through AWS SigV4 proxy can be performed using awscurl. The following topic Using awscurl to query Prometheus-compatible APIs walks you through using awscurl to set up AWS SigV4.
