Prometheus is a robust monitoring system designed to collect and analyze numerical data (metrics) from services, allowing users to track essential performance indicators like request counts, response times, and resource utilization. It utilizes two primary data collection methods: a pull model, where it fetches metrics via HTTP requests, and a push model using a Pushgateway for intermediary data collection. This flexibility in data gathering empowers users to answer critical operational questions concerning efficiency and potential infrastructure needs.
Prometheus is a powerful monitoring system that collects and processes numerical data from applications, enabling you to track key performance indicators effectively.
Using Prometheus, you can answer crucial questions about your service's efficiency, performance bottlenecks, and whether infrastructure scaling is needed.
Prometheus collects metrics primarily using a pull model where it actively queries services via HTTP, ensuring up-to-date and accurate performance monitoring.
The push model requires setting up an intermediary (Pushgateway) where services send their metrics, which Prometheus then retrieves for monitoring purposes.
