Overall Satisfaction with Prometheus
Prometheus database is a specialized model to monitor Time-Series based data and give alerts of anomalies to take action. Time-Series are events that occur on a regular frequency. Prometheus has a language to query the data and generate an alarm if the data has a variation in the frequency of the events. Grafana integrates smoothly with Prometheus as a data visualizer.
- Monitor networks events to detect irregular traffic peaks
- Season demand of products for inventory management
- Sales ups and downs for marketing campaigns
- The query language is complicated.
- Learn to integrate and manage Grafana for visualization.
- Could include a Machine Learning Time-Series module to do predictions.
- The time-series specialized query language.
- User friendly visualizer of data with Grafana.
- Customize alerts to identify security problems.
- Positive: Network and infraestructure monitoring to detect security breaches.
- Positive: Excellent visualizer of data with Grafana.
- Challenging: If the data is not useful to build Time-Series. Promethous will inform a bad performance.
Prometheus was built to monitor CLOUD infrastructure. InfluxDB also has a good design to monitor time series but does not have a design for these demands. InfluxDB would need customization to integrate with Grafana and other third-party solutions. A disadvantage of InfluxDB is the null support for XML. InfluxDB is for event logging while Prometheus is focused on metrics recording.
