About Prometheus

Prometheus is a metrics-based monitoring system that is designed to track an organisation's overall health, performance and behaviour. It gathers, organises and stores real-time metrics besides delivering intuitive alerts in no time. The software uses dimensional data modelling, flexible query language, modern alerting techniques and an effective time-series database to provide elegant monitoring solutions. With a cleverly designed interface and futuristic features, Prometheus delivers excellent insights derived from a variety of metrics. By implementing a highly dimensional data tool and key-value pairs, it converts data into meaningful insights. This efficient monitoring solution enables users to slice and dice collected time series data through PromQL and generate informative graphs, tables, and alerts as per convenience. Prometheus also comes loaded with a variety of sophisticated templates facilitating seamless data visualisation and integrated Grafana functionality. Furthermore, it provides an efficient storage facility for time series besides working on a simple yet reliable server. The platform’s alerting approach is rooted in PromQL and is flexibly designed. Lastly, this open-source software is completely community-driven and highly secure as well.
