Prometheus is used by developers, DevOps teams, and system administrators to monitor the performance and health of applications, infrastructure, and services. It collects metrics from various targets, stores them efficiently, and provides a flexible query language (PromQL) for analyzing the data. Prometheus also supports alerting, allowing users to define alerting rules based on metric data and receive notifications through various channels.
Features
- Multi-dimensional Data Model: Stores metrics with labels (key/value pairs) to provide dimensional data modeling.
- Powerful Query Language (PromQL): Allows users to query and analyze time-series data efficiently.
- Pull-based Metric Collection: Collects metrics by pulling data from instrumented targets, ensuring accurate and consistent data collection.
- Time-series Database: Stores time-series data efficiently, providing long-term storage and querying capabilities.
- Alerting: Supports defining alerting rules and sending notifications through integrations with systems like Alertmanager.
- Service Discovery: Integrates with various service discovery mechanisms to dynamically discover and monitor targets.
- Visualization: Integrates seamlessly with Grafana for creating dashboards and visualizing metrics.

5. Configuration Prometheus with Grafana
Prometheus can be configured to work with Grafana. To set it up, you need to configure "Prometheus" as a data source in Grafana.
Fill out the form with the following data:
Server URL: http://use.your.ip:9090
Choose the authentication method as Basic Authentication and enter your username and password:
Username: prometheus
Password: Prometheus Password
You can fill in the other fields as needed. After you "Save & Test" your configuration, you may want to add a dashboard to monitor your server.
The easiest way to get a dashboard preview is to import it using ID 1860. After importing, you need to set a unique name for the import and choose the correct data source.
