This werk deprecates the option 'Prometheus Scrape Targets' in the Prometheus rule. We recommend transitioning to our Kubernetes integration (https://docs.checkmk.com/latest/en/monitoring_kubernetes.html), if you want to monitor a Kubernetes environment. For monitoring Prometheus exporters or Prometheus metrics endpoints directly in general, please use the dedicated OpenTelemetry (https://docs.checkmk.com/latest/en/opentelemetry.html) integration, as it is the more robust and appropriate solution for that use case.
