Prometheus Configuration

Complete guide to Prometheus setup, metric collection, scrape configuration, and recording rules.

Purpose

Configure Prometheus for comprehensive metric collection, alerting, and monitoring of infrastructure and applications.

When to Use

  • Set up Prometheus monitoring
  • Configure metric scraping
  • Create recording rules
  • Design alert rules
  • Implement service discovery

Detailed patterns and worked examples

Detailed pattern documentation lives in `references/details.md`. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.

Best Practices

1. **Use consistent naming** for metrics (prefix_name_unit) 2. **Set appropriate scrape intervals** (15-60s typical) 3. **Use recording rules** for expensive queries 4. **Implement high availability** (multiple Prometheus instances) 5. **Configure retention** based on storage capacity 6. **Use relabeling** for metric cleanup 7. **Monitor Prometheus itself** 8. **Implement federation** for large deployments 9. **Use Thanos/Cortex** for long-term storage 10. **Document custom metrics**

Troubleshooting

**Check scrape targets:**

curl http://localhost:9090/api/v1/targets

**Check configuration:**

curl http://localhost:9090/api/v1/status/config

**Test query:**

curl 'http://localhost:9090/api/v1/query?query=up'
