Provides metrics scraping capabilities and an open source community
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of the solution are metrics scraping capabilities and the open source community and support."
  • "Prometheus requires improvement on the query side."

What is our primary use case?

I use Prometheus to monitor Kubernetes clusters.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of the solution are metrics scraping capabilities and the open source community and support.

What needs improvement?

Prometheus requires improvement on the query side. When I query the data from last year, it queries within its database. Sometimes, it just crashes it out. They need to improve this feature where the SQL queries take much time and sometimes crash the whole Prometheus cluster.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Prometheus for one year.
