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
