Prometheus, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project, is a systems and service monitoring system. It collects metrics from configured targets at given intervals, evaluates rule expressions, displays the results, and can trigger alerts if some condition is observed to be true.
Prometheus's main distinguishing features as compared to other monitoring systems are:
- a multi-dimensional data model (timeseries defined by metric name and set of key/value dimensions)
- a flexible query language to leverage this dimensionality
- no dependency on distributed storage; single server nodes are autonomous
- timeseries collection happens via a pull model over HTTP
- pushing timeseries is supported via an intermediary gateway
- targets are discovered via service discovery or static configuration
- multiple modes of graphing and dashboarding support
- support for hierarchical and horizontal federation
There are various ways of installing Prometheus.
Precompiled binaries for released versions are available in the download section on prometheus.io. Using the latest production release binary is the recommended way of installing Prometheus. See the Installing chapter in the documentation for all the details.
Debian packages are available.
Docker images are available on Quay.io or Docker Hub.
You can launch a Prometheus container for trying it out with
$ docker run --name prometheus -d -p 127.0.0.1:9090:9090 prom/prometheus
Prometheus will now be reachable at http://localhost:9090/.
To build Prometheus from the source code yourself you need to have a working Go environment with version 1.13 or greater installed. You will also need to have Node.js and Yarn installed in order to build the frontend assets.
You can directly use the go tool to download and install the prometheus
and promtool binaries into your GOPATH:
$ go get github.com/prometheus/prometheus/cmd/...
$ prometheus --config.file=your_config.yml
However, when using go get to build Prometheus, Prometheus will expect to be able to
read its web assets from local filesystem directories under web/ui/static and
web/ui/templates. In order for these assets to be found, you will have to run Prometheus
from the root of the cloned repository. Note also that these directories do not include the
new experimental React UI unless it has been built explicitly using make assets or make build.
An example of the above configuration file can be found here.
You can also clone the repository yourself and build using make build, which will compile in
the web assets so that Prometheus can be run from anywhere:
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/prometheus
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/prometheus
$ git clone https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus.git
$ cd prometheus
$ make build
$ ./prometheus --config.file=your_config.yml
The Makefile provides several targets:
- build: build the
prometheusandpromtoolbinaries (includes building and compiling in web assets) - test: run the tests
- test-short: run the short tests
- format: format the source code
- vet: check the source code for common errors
- docker: build a docker container for the current
HEAD
For more information on building, running, and developing on the new React-based UI, see the React app's README.md.
- The source code is periodically indexed: Prometheus Core.
- You will find a CircleCI configuration in
.circleci/config.yml. - See the Community page for how to reach the Prometheus developers and users on various communication channels.

Grafana allows you to query, visualize, alert on and understand your metrics no matter where they are stored. Create, explore, and share dashboards with your team and foster a data driven culture:
- Visualize: Fast and flexible client side graphs with a multitude of options. Panel plugins for many different way to visualize metrics and logs.
- Dynamic Dashboards: Create dynamic & reusable dashboards with template variables that appear as dropdowns at the top of the dashboard.
- Explore Metrics: Explore your data through ad-hoc queries and dynamic drilldown. Split view and compare different time ranges, queries and data sources side by side.
- Explore Logs: Experience the magic of switching from metrics to logs with preserved label filters. Quickly search through all your logs or streaming them live.
- Alerting: Visually define alert rules for your most important metrics. Grafana will continuously evaluate and send notifications to systems like Slack, PagerDuty, VictorOps, OpsGenie.
- Mixed Data Sources: Mix different data sources in the same graph! You can specify a data source on a per-query basis. This works for even custom datasources.
- Grafana 7.0 Beta is available for download.
- Read what's is new.
