About:
Prometheus is an open-source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit originally built at SoundCloud. It records real-time metrics in a time series database built using HTTP pull model, allowing for flexible queries and real-time alerting.
|
Key Features:
- Multi-dimensional data model with time series identification by key-value pairs
- Powerful query language (PromQL) for slicing and dicing collected data
- No reliance on distributed storage; single server nodes are autonomous
- Service discovery targets to automatically find systems to monitor
- Pull model architecture for metrics collection
|
Use Cases:
- Monitoring infrastructure and application metrics in cloud-native environments
- Setting up alerts based on metric thresholds for incident response
- Visualizing system performance and capacity planning
|
Alternatives:
-
Grafana
– Often used alongside Prometheus for visualization, but focuses on dashboarding rather than data collection
-
Datadog
– Commercial SaaS offering with similar capabilities but includes managed infrastructure and support
