2. if we need to upgrade the version of apache , which apache version that [rometheus support?

3. if we doing patching or update the prometheus or apache, can we do it online(sudo apt update or offline(download the package first then just run the command ?

Prometheus runs as a standalone service. It doesn't run under Apache.

Prometheus is written in Go, and distributed as pre-compiled binaries (or as Go source code). It doesn't depend on anything in the Java ecosystem.

Prometheus doesn't have "plugins" as such. Rather, you run separate "exporters" which collect data. Prometheus fetches data from the exporters by making HTTP(S) requests to them, a process known as "scraping".
