What is Prometheus Used For?

Prometheus is used for monitoring metrics and generating real-time alerts. It can collect metrics from various sources using HTTP, and then process them using its powerful query language. Prometheus is suitable for monitoring both infrastructure and business processes.

Technical Aspects and Capabilities

Data Model

Prometheus stores all its data in time series. Each time series has a unique name and set of labels.

Pull-Based Metric Collection

Unlike many other monitoring systems, Prometheus uses a pull-based data collection model, meaning it fetches metrics from monitored systems itself.

Service Discovery

Prometheus supports various service discovery mechanisms for automatically finding monitoring targets.

Flexible Query Language

PromQL is a powerful query language that allows users to perform complex metric analysis.

Visualization

Prometheus has its built-in web interface for visualizing metrics and PromQL queries. However, it can also integrate with external visualization tools like Grafana.

Alerting

Prometheus supports alert generation based on user-defined rules. Alerts can be sent to various notification systems such as email, Slack, PagerDuty, and many others.
