How do I actually view metrics being reported to Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus? (Open telemetry)

I am new to GCP, and I'm following this documentation in order to deploy an OpenTelemetry Collector on a GKE cluster.

If you wish to follow this documentation to assist, note that

As explained here, the sample application emits the example_requests_total counter metric and the example_random_numbers histogram metric (among others) on its metrics port.

My question is; Where do I actually view these metrics on the Cloud Console?? How do I verify that this is working correctly??

I can't seem to find them in the metrics explorer. Or anywhere else.

As a final note, they don't seem to be related, but I'll leave the logs from the related workloads below just in case (These are all the logs).

Thanks!

Solved: I was able to view the matrics on Cloud Monitoring after waiting for a few hours. It seems that they simply took a long time to showin the metrics explorer.
