Quickstart

  • prometheus polls HTTP endpoints for collected metrics
  • these endpoints are called exporters, and they are generated/exposed using clients
  • you can configure rules to persist data, or emit alerts when a metric fails
xdg-open localhost:9090                          # prometheus-ui
promtool check rules /path/to/example.rules.yml  # validate rule
amtool check-config alertmanager.yml              # validate alertmanager config
