Hi team, I'm a beginner exploring Prometheus as a monitoring tool.

I was curious to know if there a documentation which lists all the metrics that can be collected using Prometheus.

Specific to Java runtime I wanted to understand what is the difference between the metrics collected by Java-native profiling tool like JDK Fllight Recorder (JFR) and Prometheus.
Thanks in advance!

No, because it's completely open-ended - you can collect any metrics you like.

There is a partial list of exporters that people have written (and their TCP port assignments) here:

It's a big list :-)
