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.

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.
