Prometheus

Monitor your applications and infrastructure with the leading open-source metrics monitoring system. Gain deep insights with powerful time-series data collection and intelligent alerting.

What is Prometheus?

Prometheus is an open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit originally built at SoundCloud. Since its inception in 2012, many companies and organisations have adopted Prometheus, and it has a very active developer and user community. It is now a standalone open source project and maintained independently of any company.

Prometheus collects and stores metrics as time series data, recording information with a timestamp. It provides a powerful query language (PromQL) to leverage this data and create sophisticated alerts based on metric values and trends.

Why Choose Prometheus?

  • Time-Series Metrics

    Collect and store metrics as time-series data with powerful querying capabilities using PromQL.

  • Intelligent Alerting

    Create sophisticated alerting rules based on metric thresholds and trends to detect issues early.

  • Service Discovery

    Automatically discover and monitor services across dynamic cloud and container environments.

  • Powerful Visualisation

    Integrate with Grafana and other tools for rich dashboards and real-time monitoring visualisation.

Common Use Cases

Prometheus is commonly used for:
