Prometheus Monitoring

Prometheus is an open-sourced tool stack used for monitoring highly dynamic container environments such as kubernetes.

It is a platform that collects metrics from monitored targets by scraping metrics HTTP endpoints on these targets. Prometheus Monitoring automates monitoring of services, alerts maintainers, and works to identify potential problems. It allows critical thresholds to be set which aids in resolving issues effectively and efficiently.
