Awesome news! Prometheus does fill a void in the monitoring, time series, visualization niche. I found it more straightforward to setup and use than the alternatives such as statsd, collectived, influxdb (which seems to be headed the wrong way in monetizing) and grafana et al.
I always thought that Hashicorp would someday fill this void with their polished products and straightforward community and monetization strategies, especially through consul [0]. I hope it can polish the rough edges while being incubated by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
PS.: I've prepared an Ansible role for prometheus for those interested, albeit outdated [1]

- SEJeff 10y agoFWIW regarding your grafana comment, Prometheus upstream plans to deprecate PromDash and move the ui to grafana as they do a better job. From: https://prometheus.io/docs/visualization/promdash/ https://prometheus.io/docs/visualization/promdash/ NOTE: We recommend Grafana for visualization of Prometheus metrics nowadays, as it has native Prometheus support and is widely adopted and powerful. There will be less focus on PromDash development in the future.
