Overall Satisfaction with Prometheus

We use Prometheus to automatically collect and monitor metrics for production Cassandra clusters that we manage for our customers. Metrics like reading latency, write latency, and disk space are used. We then use Grafana to visualize the results. This combination works flawlessly and can be used for monitoring other systems. I do recommend Prometheus as a simple and easy-to-use monitoring solution.
  • Scraping and collecting metrics.
  • Storying time series.
  • Monitoring and visualization.
  • Adding more official integrations.
  • Integrations with Astra DB.
  • Integrations with Astra Streaming.
  • Scraping metrics.
  • Storing metrics as time series.
  • Retrieving and visualizing metrics.
  • Easy to use monitoring solution for our customers.
  • De facto standard in the open source community.
  • Faster problem detection and resolution by support.

Prometheus is well suited for monitoring large clusters running databases and messaging systems. Prometheus, as a time series database, is very efficient and time-tested. It is very common to find Prometheus being used with open-source systems like Apache Cassandra and Apache Kafka. So common that they are frequently bundled together, making Prometheus a default solution for metrics collection and monitoring.
