Description

Prometheus is a powerful open-source monitoring system designed specifically for cloud-native environments. It collects metrics via a pull model, stores them in an efficient time-series database, and offers a powerful query language (PromQL). As a CNCF graduated project, Prometheus is the de facto standard for Kubernetes monitoring.
