Accessing the Prometheus Server
===============================
It can be useful to interact with the cluster's prometheus server while developing dashboards in grafana. You will need to forward a local port to the prometheus server's pod.
 
Using the standard port
------------------------

Listen on port 9090 locally, forwarding to the prometheus server's port `9090`:

 .. code:: bash

    kubectl -n support port-forward deployment/support-prometheus-server 9090

then visit `<http://localhost:9090>`__.

Using an alternative port
-------------------------

Listen on port 8000 locally, forwarding to the prometheus server's port `9090`:

 .. code:: bash

    kubectl -n support port-forward deployment/support-prometheus-server 8000:9090

then visit `<http://localhost:8000>`__.
