## AI overview

A tutorial on monitoring Pure Storage FlashArray with OpenMetrics, Docker Compose, Prometheus, and Grafana. It explains that Purity//FA 6.7.x and later include a native exporter, while older versions used a separate exporter that reached end-of-life in September 2024.

## Source excerpt

Update (February 2026): This post has been updated to reflect the current best practices for monitoring FlashArray using OpenMetrics. Starting with Purity//FA 6.7.x, FlashArray includes a native OpenMetrics exporter, eliminating the need for a separate exporter service/container. The configuration examples below now demonstrate direct-to-array scraping. This post introduces you to monitoring your Pure Storage FlashArray using OpenMetrics. It shows you how to get started quickly using Docker Compose to monitor your Pure Storage FlashArray environment.
