What is Prometheus?
Prometheus is an 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. It is now a standalone open source project and maintained independently of any company.
Prometheus's main features are:
- A multi-dimensional data model (time series identified by metric name and key/value pairs).
- A flexible query language to leverage this dimensionality.
- No reliance on distributed storage; single server nodes are autonomous.
- Time series collection happens via a pull model over HTTP.
- Pushing time series is supported via an intermediary gateway.
- Targets are discovered via service discovery or static configuration.
- Multiple modes of graphing and dashboarding support.
Comments and Reviews
Simple. Fast. Scales fantastically. Lots of support. Not good for keeping historical data. No downsampling. Only good for real time data, seek other time series databases if you want to store with a specific timestamp.
A really good product, simple, powerful, the best metrics tool ... and ... open source free !!
