Prometheus offers different ways to do this:

- [Federation](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/federation/) the global Prometheus will scrape each zone Prometheuses.
- [Remote Write](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/storage/#remote-storage-integrations) each zone Prometheuses will directly write their metrics to the global, this is meant to be more efficient the API the federation.
