An open-source tool used for metrics collection and monitoring.
A monitoring system that collects metrics using a pull model, allowing flexible analysis through its own query language, PromQL. It uses a pull-based architecture -- the Prometheus server periodically scrapes each target itself, rather than targets pushing metrics to it -- which, combined with service discovery, lets it flexibly track monitoring targets even in an environment like Kubernetes where services constantly come and go.
