Prometheus Prometheus is an open-source monitoring and alarm tool. It was originally developed by SoundCloud and later became a graduation project of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) (at the same level as Kubernetes). It is designed for cloud-native environments and is suitable for monitoring requirements of dynamic microservice architectures.
Core Features：
- Multi-dimensional Data Model：Prometheus employs a key-value-based time-series data model where each metric can be annotated with multiple labels (e.g., http_requests_total{method="POST", status="200"}), enabling granular monitoring. Its flexible PromQL query language supports multi-dimensional data aggregation, slicing, and calculations.
- High-performance Time-series Database (TSDB)：Features a built-in, optimized TSDB with compression and block storage mechanisms, capable of handling millions of data points per second. Data is stored in time-partitioned chunks with a default 15-day retention period (configurable), ideal for high-frequency monitoring scenarios.
- Dynamic Service Discovery：Natively integrates with Kubernetes, Consul, AWS, and other service discovery mechanisms to automatically detect topology changes. For example, in Kubernetes environments, it auto-discovers Pods and Services without manual target management.
- Advanced Alerting System：Leverages Alertmanager for alert grouping, inhibition, and silencing. Alert rules are defined using PromQL, supporting complex conditions (e.g., duration thresholds, rate fluctuations) and multi-channel notifications (email, Slack, Webhook, etc.).
- Visualization Integration：Includes a native expression browser and basic charts, with deep Grafana integration. Thousands of community-maintained dashboard templates enable rapid visualization setup.
- Lightweight Deployment：Runs as a single binary with no external dependencies. Container-friendly and resource-efficient (2–4GB RAM for basic monitoring), suitable for edge computing and resource-constrained environments.
- Rich Exporter Ecosystem：Offers hundreds of official/community exporters (e.g., Node Exporter, MySQL Exporter) for infrastructure, middleware, and applications. Supports custom metric exposure and multiple data formats.
- Federation Capabilities：Supports hierarchical federation to aggregate data from multiple Prometheus instances into a central node, enabling large-scale distributed monitoring across regions or multi-tenant architectures.
