Prometheus is a leading open source systems and service monitoring solution. It works by collecting metrics from configured targets at given intervals, evaluating rule expressions, and then displaying the results. It can also signal an alert if a condition is observed to be true.

What sets Prometheus apart from other monitoring systems is its highly dimensional data model, powerful query language, autonomous single server nodes, among many other distinguishing features. It also offers several client libraries for easy instrumentation of services, as well as many integration options.

Features

  • Multi-dimensional data model
  • Flexible query language
  • Autonomous single server nodes
  • Timeseries collection through a pull model over HTTP
  • Supports pushing timeseries
  • Discovers targets through service discovery or static configuration
  • Many modes of graphing and dashboarding support
  • Hierarchical and horizontal federation support
