# Integrate with Prometheus

:::note
This integration guide is applicable only to AWS instances.
:::

This guide outlines the process of integrating Prometheus with nullplatform to store performance and
Application Performance Monitoring (APM) metrics. By selecting `prometheus` as the designated provider for performance
metrics, each instance will automatically set up a Prometheus exporter during runtime, accessible via the default
port `2021`.

### Modifying Prometheus Exporter Port

To adjust the port used by the Prometheus exporter, edit the `nrn` key `aws.prometheusExporterPort`.

### Comprehensive Metric Collection

In addition to the standard instance metrics, a wide range of metrics prefixed with `np_` will be transmitted. These
metrics offer insights into various aspects of system data and HTTP traffic details.

### Default Metric Tags

Every metric will come equipped with default tags, enhancing the contextualization of the collected data. These tags
include:

- Account
- Namespace
- Application
- Scope

Utilizing these tags provides valuable context for analyzing and interpreting the metrics.
