Overall Satisfaction with Prometheus

This was a monitoring tool used in our IT workload. Reviewed all the services and web component monitoring done with this. It was solving complex problems with ease. It needs some basic skills; once you have that, you can build a beautiful monitoring solution for your environment. It almost covered all the valuable metrics which need to be monitored.
  • Services Monitoring.
  • Web URL Monitoring.
  • Metrics Insights.
  • Documentation about the usage.
  • Metrics define needs some handson.
  • Custom alerts are bit tricky if not organized.
  • Monitoring
  • Insights.
  • ALerts
  • Services were up and notified on down.
  • Able to manage the large number services at ease.
  • Great metrics to identify the issues.
Both were present in the toolset. Splunk Enterprise was used in more of the log observability tool than the monitoring of the service. Prometheus was used mainly on the server and services monitoring and alerting capability used to have a stable production environment. Prometheus can also be combined with Grafana to present a beautiful dashboard and use Alertmanager to create complex alerting rules.
