Prometheus has become the de facto open source metrics monitoring solution. But, as environments grow larger and more complex, teams managing their own Prometheus often run into challenges at all stages of the metrics lifecycle: from metrics creation through monitoring and visualization.
In this webinar, we’ll walk through the common side effects teams face when scaling Prometheus and different approaches teams can take to get ahead of challenges related to managing active time series, scraping metrics, retention, and querying.
Key Takeaways:
- How to recognize the early signs that Prometheus is hitting scaling limits
- Where teams most commonly struggle across the metrics lifecycle
- The downstream impact on performance, reliability, and operational overhead
- How to know it’s time to move to a managed solution
