Elastic adds native Prometheus, PromQL support to Elastic Observability

Elastic (ESTC) announced native Prometheus support, including direct ingestion via Remote Write and full PromQL support in Kibana. These additions enable Site Reliability Engineers to analyze Prometheus metrics alongside logs and traces in a single platform, without rewriting queries or rebuilding pipelines. As organizations scale Kubernetes, Prometheus telemetry cardinality and volumes surge, forcing SREs to juggle multiple tools, duplicate data pipelines, and rewrite queries across systems. This fragmentation slows incident response and drives up operational costs. With native Prometheus support, Elastic eliminates these fragmentation trade-offs by allowing teams to ingest, store, and analyze native Prometheus data alongside other telemetry data, while preserving existing Prometheus workflows. Instead of stitching together tools, SREs can detect, investigate, and resolve incidents end-to-end across AI and cloud-native environments faster and with less operational overhead.
