Prometheus
Open Source Monitoring & Observability
Prometheus is a monitoring solution that continuously monitors your infrastructure systems, collecting data on availability and performance and generating alarms in the event of failures or problems.
Prometheus
Enterprise Monitoring
Enter the multiverse
Prometheus comes with a high-dimensional data model and its own query language for analysis, aggregation and processing of the data.
Distribution
As cloud-native projects, high availability and scalability can be easily implemented with Prometheus.
Visualization
Prometheus offers an integrated possibility for visualization. At the same time, extensions with, for example, Grafana are possible.
Monitor. Visualize. Alert.
Features
From Metrics to Insights
Time series data
Prometheus comes with a high-dimensional data model that can be used to monitor process behavior, access metrics, error metrics, and workload at a high level of detail. This data can be processed, analyzed and aggregated using a proprietary query language.
Distribution
From a single instance to a highly available fleet, scalability is easy to implement with Prometheus as a cloud-native project. The Prometheus Alertmanager takes care of deduplication, grouping and targeted notifications.
Simplicity
Prometheus collects metrics on predefined endpoints over common HTTP connections. Each Prometheus instance runs standalone and is built on local POSIX-compliant storage.
Visualization
Prometheus offers an integrated visualization option with which data can be evaluated ad hoc. At the same time, numerous extensions are possible with, for example, Grafana.
Integrations
Working with Prometheus
Prometheus is characterised by broad support of modern solutions. So you decide for yourself which one suits your environment best.
Icinga
In combination with Icinga for holistic monitoring.
Grafana
Grafana supports visualization of Prometheus queries.
InfluxDB
InfluxDB can be used as an additional external storage system.
Development
Your wishes – our solutions
We develop Prometheus Exporter for you – from simple adjustments to custom exporters.
Exporters provide the data for Prometheus. A large number of existing exporters for Prometheus can be used or created individually with the help of numerous program libraries.

The simple beginning of something big
With our Prometheus Consulting offer, we want to make it easier to get started with monitoring with Prometheus and offer a cost-effective way of getting to know the open source system. Without having to make major financial advance payments, as is often the case with commercial products.
Our experienced consultants are available to you remotely for one to four days, set up the system directly and teach the basics for further operation. The package is billed at a fixed price and there are no additional costs.
Of course we also offer you every possible Prometheus custom solution in every size – just talk to us.
