Prometheus is a popular open-source monitoring system and time series database. It features a multi-dimensional data model, a flexible query language, and integrates monitoring aspects all the way from client-side instrumentation to alerting.

In this introductory workshop, the co-creator of Prometheus will explain the architecture and concepts behind Prometheus. Participants will set up core Prometheus components (Prometheus server, Alertmanager, Grafana, Node Exporter, and more) and monitor an example service setup. Based on the example setup, we will explore the data model, query language, alerting, and dashboarding functionalities of Prometheus.
