How does Prometheus gather information about monitored hosts and services?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CE

Prometheus gathers information about monitored hosts and services using HTTP to retrieve metrics from the monitored objects. These metrics are typically in a text-based format and are exposed via an HTTP endpoint, which Prometheus scrapes at regular intervals to collect data.

I think C is wrong because metrics are text-based and not json encoded. https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats/
