Overall Satisfaction with Prometheus
A good monitoring tool, I have used it for the past 1 year and I have never seen any kind of problem till now. almost covered all the useful metrics that need to be monitored. at first, it is complex to implement but once these problems are solved it can be the best monitoring solution for your environment, In addition to being able to use it as a service, its requirements are not very high, this helps to keep a low budget in monitoring storage.
- The whole design of Prometheus where goes ahead and scrapes data
- Push gateways for the cases it is not possible.
- There is no major concerns as such but i have seen few metrics are missing
- the latency for datastores metrics for vmware is missing.
- The software is very lightweight and can be hosted with minimal resource usage.
- The format is simple enough to build your custom exporter for exotic apps.
- We use Prometheus at work to monitor our container cluster health and the performance of various services.
- The software allows us to predict future bottlenecks based on aggregated data that we collected previously.
- It is not a visual tool it just takes the metric from node and present when the queries are passed.
The software is very lightweight and can be hosted with minimal resource usage. Many exporters exist for various software. Prometheus has a powerful and flexible query language (PromQL) that allows analyzing your data easy. I use this software with its various exporters, Thanos, Grafana, etc.
