# Using Custom Prometheus
When using custom prometheus with Lens app, Lens expects certain things for prometheus rules and labels. Below is listed the changes required to see metrics properly.
## kube-prometheus
### Manual
1. To see node metrics properly, please add
```
- action: replace
regex: (.*)
replacement: $1
sourceLabels:
- __meta_kubernetes_pod_node_name
targetLabel: kubernetes_node
```
relabeling to `node-exporter` servicemonitor crd (for example `kubectl edit -n monitoring servicemonitors node-exporter`).
2. To see cluster's pod usage on cluster overview properly, please add `metricsRelabeling` to `kubelet` service monitor (`kubectl edit -n monitoring servicemonitors kubelet`)
```
metricRelabelings:
- action: replace
sourceLabels:
- node
targetLabel: instance
```
### Jsonnet
The required label replacements are bundled in [jsonnet/custom-prometheus](../jsonnet/custom-prometheus.jsonnet). To install it copy the file or use
[Jsonnet Bundler](https://github.com/jsonnet-bundler/jsonnet-bundler). For jsonnet bundler add the following dependency to your `jsonnetfile.json`:
```
{
"name": "lens",
"source": {
"git": {
"remote": "https://github.com/lensapp/lens",
"subdir": "jsonnet"
}
},
"version": "master"
}
```
and run `jb install`. When the installation was successful include it into your definitions. Using the [example](https://github.com/coreos/kube-prometheus#compiling)
of kube-prometheus, e.g.:
```
local kp =
(import 'kube-prometheus/kube-prometheus.libsonnet') +
(import 'lens/custom-prometheus.jsonnet') +
{
_config+:: {
namespace: 'monitoring',
},
};
...
```
## Helm chart
1. To see cpu metrics properly, please set value of `server.global.scrape_timeout` less than 1 minute, for example
```
helm upgrade --set server.global.scrape_interval=30s prometheus stable/prometheus
```
