 ### Can I view my Prometheus metrics in Azure Monitor metrics explorer?
 
-Metrics explorer in Azure Monitor doesn't currently support visualizing Prometheus metric data. Consider using [Azure Managed Grafana](../../managed-grafana/index.yml) to visualize your Prometheus metrics.
+Metrics explorer with PromQL supports visualizing Prometheus metrics data using PromQL. To use the Metrics Explorer with promQL support, select the **Metrics** menu item from any Azure Monitor workspace in the Azure portal. For more information, see [Metrics explorer with PromQL (Preview)](../essentials/metrics-explorer.md).
