Openmetrics on Azure observability
Team, I am trying to connect a couple of openmetrics endpoints to Azure Monitor allthough it does not seem to support out of the box, I am overseeing the documentation? is there a easy way to connect openmetrics endpoint ?
It seems it might be able to connect the openmetrics endpoints if I deploy Azure Monitor managed service for Prometheus, but its not clear.

Azure Monitor does not provide native support for scraping arbitrary OpenMetrics endpoints. The recommended approach for integrating OpenMetrics-based data is to leverage the Azure Monitor managed service for Prometheus, which delivers a fully managed and scalable Prometheus environment. By deploying this service, organizations can collect metrics from Kubernetes clusters, virtual machines, or self-managed Prometheus instances. Since Prometheus inherently supports OpenMetrics exposition, this managed service offers the appropriate pathway for connecting and ingesting metrics from OpenMetrics endpoints.
