|
|
Prometheus, a [Cloud Native Computing Foundation](https://cncf.io/) 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' 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**
|
|
|
|
## Architecture overview
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
There are various ways of installing Prometheus.
|
|
|
|
### Precompiled binaries
|
|
|
|
Precompiled binaries for released versions are available in the
|
|
[*download* section](https://prometheus.io/download/)
|
|
on [prometheus.io](https://prometheus.io). Using the latest production release binary
|
|
is the recommended way of installing Prometheus.
|
|
See the [Installing](https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/install/)
|
|
chapter in the documentation for all the details.
|
|
|
|
Debian packages [are available](https://packages.debian.org/sid/net/prometheus).
|
|
|
|
### Docker images
|
|
|
|
Docker images are available on [Quay.io](https://quay.io/repository/prometheus/prometheus) or [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/prom/prometheus/).
|
|
|
|
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/.
|
|
|
|
### Building from source
|
|
|
|
To build Prometheus from the source code yourself you need to have a working
|
|
Go environment with [version 1.13 or greater installed](https://golang.org/doc/install).
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
You can also clone the repository yourself and build using `make`:
|
|
|
|
$ 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 `prometheus` and `promtool` binaries
|
|
* *test*: run the tests
|
|
* *test-short*: run the short tests
|
|
* *format*: format the source code
|
|
* *vet*: check the source code for common errors
|
|
* *assets*: rebuild the static assets
|
|
* *docker*: build a docker container for the current `HEAD`
|
|
|
|
## More information
|
|
|
|
* The source code is periodically indexed: [Prometheus Core](https://godoc.org/github.com/prometheus/prometheus).
|
|
* You will find a Travis CI configuration in `.travis.yml`.
|
|
* See the [Community page](https://prometheus.io/community) for how to reach the Prometheus developers and users on various communication channels.
