An Overview of the Prometheus Ecosystem

With such a vast collection of components available for use, it can be daunting to choose the ones that are required to solve a given monitoring gap. In this chapter, we will go over the Prometheus ecosystem, which components perform what job, and understand how everything works together logically.

Striving for simplicity and having a clear understanding of all the moving parts of a Prometheus stack is invaluable to keep things manageable and reliable.

In brief, the following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Metrics collection with Prometheus
  • Exposing internal state with exporters
  • Alert routing and management with Alertmanager
  • Visualizing your data
