Review on Prometheus by Daniel Russell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A powerful monitoring solution at an affordable price

I like that it's very easy to use, and you can do a lot with it without having to learn too much. The dashboard is also really nice. There are some things that could be improved - for example, there aren't any alerts for HTTP errors or errors from other systems. It would be great if we had those alerts. Also, there isn't anything in the UI about how many requests per second your server is handling - this would be useful to know! We have been using Prometheus to monitor our API servers, MySQL databases, and Redis instances. We're able to see what is going on with these services, and make sure everything is working as expected.

Pros
  • Easy setup; lots/tons (not an exaggeration)of metrics available out the box..you don’t need extra software installed either.
  • The ability not only tell which service has issues but why they did so
Cons
  • Mostly okay, but...
