Prometheus Reviews

I like best thing of Prometheus Platform is that it's user-friendly interface. The ability of platform to streamline plant processes, assist in plant maintenance, operations, safety management, and contribute to cost-cutting are key highlights are one of the best points I really loved.

I mainly dislike is its issues with updates are really slow. And main thing I hate and dislike is that

we need to purchase many parts separately of Prometheus Platform.

Prometheus is mainly working on streamlining plant processes, contributing to plant maintenance, operations, and safety management. It helps us mainly in our cost cutting of program. Also Prometheus helps us in monitoring and analyzing the performance of Kong API, ensuring it operates efficiently.

Prometheus was easy to set up with a .yaml file to use with Helm.

I wish there was a better GUI to work with Prometheus.

Scraping data from Kubernetes clusters.

You can basically monitor anything. Your metrics can be Fully customized, most of the DBs has Prometheus integration built in and also k8s works great with it out of the box

Queries are complicated and hard to learn

Same as any other alternative monitoring db. It will help you understand how your app behave in production

You can define your own metrics for your application that want to monitor. Paired up with Grafana makes it a really powerful tool. It's Alert manager is a cherry on top.

Just the integrations are a bit tough to crack on windows. If it can be made for windows then it will become the best monitoring tool out there. On Linux it works pretty fine.

We have several flask services that we wanted to monitor. We have redis, MQTT and several services deployed in IIS and pmel2. All of these services can be monitored through it.

its ui and its service discovery mechanism which helps us grabbing the metrics

there is nothing to say about it yet i havenot found anything

for monitoring the infrastructure and application

Best tool to provide monitoring matrics and setup alerting

Taking more Memory to compare to another tool like zabix

Prometheus provides very simple promql queries, readily available in the community.

Prometheus query are simple and easy to use. It provide plugings to integrate with almost all environment makes it usable in all scenarios. Integrated alerting and north bound integration via webhook is best for taking automated action based on events.

Documention on performance parameter is not so good and lack knowledge on setting correct resources for production level traffic. We have faced issues related to dimensioning on production site because multiple queries on multiple window cause application to consume too much memory.

It provide a way to monitor system/application matrics which helps us to get realtime metrics and take action if required. Also we can easily integrate with grafana to get data in graph form.

it is helpful for collecting the metrics.

GUI can be better for creating dashboards.

metrics collection

log store

send firing

check rules

Cloud native tools compatibility and support, push/pull options to get metrics, prolql capabilities to filter & combine multiple metrics to create custom alerts, stability

breaking changes between versions, scalability issues when using federated prometheus, critical bus like a recent memory leak can affect other applications when prometheus is embedded and time to resolution is not easy to predict in those cases due to the nature of the team managing the direction of the product

Plan your model as you scale your use, adding more metrics is never free so careful selection of the useful ones is critical when scaling up to thousands of pods/nodes/clusters

prometheus is our main metrics and monitoring tool, not only for the application layer but all the way down to the hardware. the wide adoption it has helps with the integration with existing monitoring solutions our customers have

Best monitoring tool i have ever seen , am using it for last 4 years never seen any kind of issues so far. Almost covered

all the useful metrics which needs to be monitored. It needs some basic skills , once you have that you can build a beautiful

monitoring solution for your environment

There is no major concerns as such but i have seen few metrics are missing even in the latest versions also , for example

the latency for datastores metrics for vmware is missing ,

The most important problem which we have solved is stopped paying for the enterprise monitoring tools , since prometheus

itself is designed as a enterprise level but free of cost. And ease of administration , have metrics for almost all components
