I have a microk8s cluster running where the Observability add-on is enabled. So now i have a Prometheus instance. In the same cluster i have a Kafka consumer pod. I wrote a simple python script that runs in the Kafka pod reads a single value and then appends it to this endpoint “start\_http\_server(9001)”. The endpoint is only accessible within the cluster.  
Now my question is how can I add additional Scrape Configuration to Prometheus so it could detect this port and read the data. I tried using this yaml file:  
apiVersion: [monitoring.coreos.com/v1](http://monitoring.coreos.com/v1)  
kind: PodMonitor  
metadata:  
name: my-pod-monitor  
spec:  
selector:  
matchLabels:  
name: consumer-pod  
namespaceSelector:  
matchNames:  
- default  
podMetricsEndpoints:

- interval: 5s
- port: ‘9001’  
path: /metrics  
but nothing workes, I am sceptical about the line "-port: ‘9001’ " but i don’t know how to fix the problem.  
Also the Prometheus Operator has this log:
