Prometheus

Please note: training delivered by our partners is not included in our Support Subscription.

Prometheus is a popular open-source monitoring system and time series database written in Go, featuring a multi-dimensional data model and a flexible query language. It provides client libraries for instrumenting application code, exporters for monitoring other services, and an alert manager for raising alerts. Data from Prometheus can be visualised and explored using Grafana.
