Turnbull James. Monitoring With Prometheus

James Turnbull & Turnbull Press, 2018. — 394 p. — ISBN: 978-0-9888202-8-9.This book is an introduction to Prometheus, an open-source monitoring system. Prometheus provides real-time collection of time series data from your applications backed by a powerful rules engine to help identify the information you need to monitor your environment. In the next chapter.
we’ll introduce you to Prometheus and its architecture and components. We’ll use Prometheus in the book to take you through building a monitoring environment, with a focus on monitoring dynamic cloud, Kubernetes, and container environments. We’ll also look at instrumenting applications and using that data for alerting and visualization.This is also a book about monitoring in general—so, before we introduce you to Prometheus, we’re going to take you through some monitoring basics. We’ll go through what monitoring is, some approaches to monitoring, and we’ll explain some terms and concepts that we’ll rely on later in this book.Introduction to Prometheus.
