title: ServiceMonitor and PodMonitor Configuration

ServiceMonitors and PodMonitors are both pseudo-CRDs that map the scrape configuration of the Prometheus custom resource.
|
|
|
|
These configuration objects declaratively specify the endpoints that Prometheus will scrape metrics from.
|
|
|
|
ServiceMonitors are more commonly used than PodMonitors, and we recommend them for most use cases.

## ServiceMonitors
|
|
|
|
This pseudo-CRD maps to a section of the Prometheus custom resource configuration. It declaratively specifies how groups of Kubernetes services should be monitored.
|
|
|
|
When a ServiceMonitor is created, the Prometheus Operator updates the Prometheus scrape configuration to include the ServiceMonitor configuration. Then Prometheus begins scraping metrics from the endpoint defined in the ServiceMonitor.
|
|
|
|
Any Services in your cluster that match the labels located within the ServiceMonitor `selector` field will be monitored based on the `endpoints` specified on the ServiceMonitor. For more information on what fields can be specified, please look at the [spec](https://github.com/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator/blob/master/Documentation/api.md#servicemonitor) provided by Prometheus Operator.
|
|
|
|
For more information about how ServiceMonitors work, refer to the [Prometheus Operator documentation.](https://github.com/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator/blob/master/Documentation/user-guides/running-exporters.md)

## PodMonitors
|
|
|
|
This pseudo-CRD maps to a section of the Prometheus custom resource configuration. It declaratively specifies how group of pods should be monitored.
|
|
|
|
When a PodMonitor is created, the Prometheus Operator updates the Prometheus scrape configuration to include the PodMonitor configuration. Then Prometheus begins scraping metrics from the endpoint defined in the PodMonitor.
|
|
|
|
Any Pods in your cluster that match the labels located within the PodMonitor `selector` field will be monitored based on the `podMetricsEndpoints` specified on the PodMonitor. For more information on what fields can be specified, please look at the [spec](https://github.com/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator/blob/master/Documentation/api.md#podmonitorspec) provided by Prometheus Operator.
