What makes Prometheus different than other open source monitoring systems is that it has a simple, text-based format, making it easy to get metrics from other systems. It also has a multidimensional data model and a rich and concise query language. Using Prometheus, we can monitor all levels, nodes, container-scheduling systems, and also routers and switches. If we are dealing with large applications and a fast-moving infrastructure, this means that the jobs that we run change rapidly and we have to deploy them around 100 times a day. In this case, Prometheus will be very useful, as it has the ability to discover services. If we have a dynamic infrastructure, we can use Prometheus to detect early failures...
