Do these instructions help?

For external prometheus, the instructions say to start with creating a secret for the external promethus. Do we still need prometheus-service in such case? I assume Yes.

I did both steps but still getting error Unable to detect prometheus.

sudo keptn create secret prometheus-credentials-keptn-evaluation --scope="keptn-prometheus-service" --from-literal="PROMETHEUS_USER=" --from-literal="PROMETHEUS_PASSWORD=" --from-literal="PROMETHEUS_URL=http://10.7.12.37:9090"

Release "prometheus-service" does not exist. Installing it now.
