Prometheus for Monitoring Metrics - Database Monitoring Tools
summary
Prometheus is a metrics-first, pull-based scraping system with a built-in time-series database and a PromQL query language; it stores data locally on SSDs, uses client libraries and exporters (MySQL, node_exporter, Docker) and supports alert grouping so one outage doesn’t page 40 people. Claims: ~200 integrations, ~500 companies using it, top-60 open-source project by contributors. Examples shown: a PromQL query to find the top five CPU-hungry container images and how alerting works in an AP high-availability setup.
