If you are running quincy and using cephadm then you can have more instances of prometheus (and other monitoring daemons) running in HA mode by increasing the number of daemons as in [1]: from a cephadm shell (to run 2 instances of prometheus and altertmanager): > ceph orch apply prometheus --placement 'count:2' > ceph orch apply alertmanager --placement 'count:2' You can have as many instances as you need. You can choose on which nodes to place them by using the daemon placement specification of cephadm [2] by using a specific label for monitoring i.e. In case of mgr failover cephadm should reconfigure the daemons accordingly.
