**Note**: The Prometheus feature is available for Belden Horizon Data Manager 2.10.0 and later.
:::

Belden Horizon Data Manager (BHDM) supports the integration of a Prometheus monitoring system for collecting metrics data. From this integration's metrics data, you may connect the Prometheus monitor system to a third-party client (such as Grafana) to retrieve, access, and use the metrics data for a more thorough analysis. 

Belden Horizon Data Manager also supports the ability to connect to an external Alert Manager. When successfully connected, the [Incidents](docId\:lTqiknn091CU2_F_J8iIj) alerts are sent to the external Alert Manager. This enables you to use an external Alert Manager of your choice to provide a more comprehensive alert management system.
