Prometheus Alternatives

Prometheus is described as 'Open-source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit originally built at SoundCloud. Since its inception in 2012, many companies and organizations have adopted Prometheus, and the project has a very active developer and user community' and is an app in the network & admin category. There are more than 50 alternatives to Prometheus for a variety of platforms, including Web-based, Linux, SaaS, Windows and Self-Hosted apps. The best Prometheus alternative is Datadog. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Better Stack or HyperDX. Other great apps like Prometheus are Graylog, Splunk, Grafana Loki and InfluxDB.
