Prometheus is a powerful open-source monitoring and alerting tool widely used for observability in database environments. It helps database professionals track performance metrics, detect anomalies, and optimize resource utilization.
Prometheus collects time-series data through exporters and service discovery, making it ideal for monitoring MySQL, PostgreSQL, and other databases. With PromQL, users can create custom queries for real-time insights, ensuring efficient database operations.
Challenges include high cardinality issues, storage limitations, and inefficient query performance. Our blogs provide best practices, optimization techniques, and troubleshooting guides to enhance Prometheus monitoring.
