Is there anything as easy to use as logdna but on the side of metrics: grafana/prometheus
kube-thanos is pretty nice. You can see how GitLab deploys it here.

Thanos with Kube-State meteics
Thanos doesn't need an operator, since it's mostly stateless. It's best installed via kube-thanos.

Thanos Integration with Prometheus
You probably want kube-thanos.

You get what you Measure: Understanding your applications health with Grafana, Loki and Prometheus
Prometheus can be deployed using the Prometheus Helm Chart. This helm chart contains a lot of features such as the already mentioned Push Gateway, Alert Manager and so on. For simplicity reasons of this tutorial I will not show all the Helm chart configuration but you can see a real example used by me here.

Multi-Cluster Prometheus: Scaling Metrics Across Kubernetes Clusters
Building upon Bartłomiej Płotka's insightful blog on Prometheus and its passthrough agent mode, this post dives into implementing multi-cluster Prometheus support. Notably, the official inclusion of support in the widely-used kube-prometheus-stack came with the release in July 2023, making it easier to extend Prometheus monitoring across clusters.

Hands On: Pull metrics into Kubernetes from anywhere and treat them generically with the Keptn Metrics Server
The first thing you'll need, of course, is at least one backend to store metrics. So install Prometheus now:
-
Kubernetes Ingress Visibility
For the request following, something like jeager https://www.jaegertracing.io/, because you are talking more about tracing than necessarily logging. For just monitoring, https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/kube-prometheus-stack would be the starting point, then it depends. Nginx gives metrics out of the box, then you can pull in the dashboard like https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/14314-kubernetes-nginx-ingress-controller-nextgen-devops-nirvana/ , or full metal with something like service mesh monitoring which would provably fulfil most of the requirements

Smart-Cash project -Adding monitoring to EKS using Prometheus operator
kube-prometheus-stack is a Helm chart that contains several components to monitor the Kubernetes cluster, along with Grafana dashboards Grafana Dashboards to visualize the data. This option will be used in this article.

K8s Monitoring Per Namespace
This one I highly recommend: https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/kube-prometheus-stack
- Is Prometheus the right tool for my use case here?
-
Do we have any Prometheus metric to get the kubernetes cluster-level CPU/Memory requests/limits?
We use kube-prometheus-stack for metrics and have added the K8s views dashboards from grafana-dashboards-kubernetes. You should check out the k8s-views-global dashboard. I believe it's just what you are looking for.

Alertmanager SMTP configuration
You should take a look at "kube-prometheus-stack". It not only includes prometheus, node-exporter and Grafana but also a ton of preconfigured alerts and dashboards. Will save you a lot of work!

How do I find / edit Prometheus configuration after deploying it on Kubernetes ?
Since their are different ways to install what exactly did you install? Vanilla charts , stack, operator? https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/main/charts
What are some alternatives?
When comparing kube-thanos and helm-charts you can also consider the following projects:
promscale - [DEPRECATED] Promscale is a unified metric and trace observability backend for Prometheus, Jaeger and OpenTelemetry built on PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB.
tanka - Flexible, reusable and concise configuration for Kubernetes
kube-prometheus - Use Prometheus to monitor Kubernetes and applications running on Kubernetes
charts - Bitnami Helm Charts
kustomize - Customization of kubernetes YAML configurations
thanos-operator - Kubernetes operator for deploying Thanos
pihole-kubernetes - PiHole on kubernetes
pack - CLI for building apps using Cloud Native Buildpacks
operator - Kubernetes operator for Victoria Metrics
