Prometheus
Prometheus is a system and service monitoring tool within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. It collects metrics at certain intervals from structured targets, evaluates rule statements, and can trigger a warning when the specified conditions are observed. It uses the PromQL query language with a multi-dimensional data model defined by its metric name and key/value dimensions, and works with single server nodes without distributed storage dependence.
