The /api/monitor/alerts endpoint was created to allow for text-based alerts to be consumed by the now-discontinued System Alerting & Monitoring tool. It does not map to any concept related to Prometheus. For more information, see this documentation page.

The /api/monitor/alerts endpoint in InterSystems IRIS returns alerts in JSON format, which is not compatible with Prometheus. This endpoint was originally created for the now-discontinued System Alerting & Monitoring tool and does not map to any concept related to Prometheus. To integrate these alerts into your monitoring setup, consider using a log monitoring tool like Loki to process the alerts.log file [1].

For monitoring metrics, the /api/monitor/metrics endpoint provides metrics in a format compatible with Prometheus. Ensure that this endpoint is enabled and accessible by Prometheus. You can configure Prometheus to scrape this endpoint to gather metrics from your IRIS instance [2][3].
