InfluxDB _seems_ to be less stable, and also their monetization strategy might not appeal to some. I also appreciate the pull-style operation more and more (vs. the push-based operation of InfluxDB).
- gtirloni 10y agoCould you tell what you find better about the pull-style operation mode? My experience with pull-based monitoring tools comes from Zabbix/Nagios and it wasn't very pleasant (still had to configure clients extensively while keeping everything organized in a central database -- which is hard if your servers are coming and going all the time). We're currently using collectd+influxdb+grafana but it looks like Prometheus might be a better option in the future, since we plan to use Kubernetes more and more.
- sagichmal 10y agoYou're right in that pull only works well when your puller has a subscription to your service discovery system, so you don't need to manually configure targets when they change. Prometheus has SD plugins for major systems including Kubernetes.
