Hi, I've deployed Airbyte on EKS. I know Airbyte supports OpenTelemetry to collect metrics that can forward metrics to Prometheus. I wanted to know if Prometheus scraping can be directly supported (without deploying OpenTelemetry)?

Airbyte supports two ways to collect metrics: using Datadog or OpenTelemetry. To use OpenTelemetry for collecting metrics and forwarding them to Prometheus, you need to set up the OpenTelemetry Collector and configure Airbyte accordingly. Direct support for Prometheus scraping without deploying OpenTelemetry is not mentioned in the provided extracts. However, you can follow the instructions for setting up OpenTelemetry with Prometheus in the extracts: 1. Deploy the Airbyte metric pod and OpenTelemetry pod as described in [Part 0](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/collecting-metrics#tutorial-part-0) and [Part 1](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/collecting-metrics#tutorial-part-1) of the tutorial. 2. Create a ConfigMap, Service, and ServiceMonitor as described in [Part 2](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/collecting-metrics#tutorial-part-2) and [Part 3](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/collecting-metrics#tutorial-part-3) of the tutorial. These steps will help you set up Airbyte with OpenTelemetry and Prometheus on your EKS cluster.
