Prometheus is an open-source system monitoring and alerting toolkit part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Since its inception in 2012, many companies and organizations have adopted Prometheus, and the project has a very active developer and user communit. Prometheus’s main features are:
1- A multi-dimensional data model with time series data identified by metric name and key/value pairs.
2- PromQL, a flexible query language to leverage this dimensionality.
3- No reliance on distributed storage; single server nodes are autonomous.
4- Time series collection happens via a pull model over HTTP.
5- Pushing time series is supported via an intermediary gateway.
6- Targets are discovered via service discovery or static configuration – multiple modes of graphing and dashboarding support.
This 1-Click is Kubernetes deployment of Prometheus using the Open Source Prometheus Operator. The Prometheus Operator is the recommended method to install Prometheus on a Kubernetes cluster.
Thank you to all the contributors whose hard work makes Prometheus valuable for users.
