Prometheus scales down very poorly for small teams. Other monitoring systems are effective in few hour of work and require installing only one component.
Prometheus requires a plethora of tools around it to achieve feature parity and plenty of manual work to create dashboards, alerts and so on.
Not to mention the need for custom exporters for each application (!), contrasted to agent-based platforms that have built in plugins and autodetect what need to be monitored.
- Hir0ki 6y ago> Prometheus scales down very poorly for small teams Cloud you maybe link some of those other tools, because my team is currently looking into monitoring software for our applications.
- therealmarv 6y agoThat's also my conclusion. I want something of the shelf which offers some basic monitoring and working alarms to my email for small or tiny projects. I guess it's also doable with Prometheus if you figured it out once and then reuse the configs/templates then <- not everybody has time (or man power) for that though.
- heliodor 6y agoThe InfluxDB TICK suite is very user friendly, but still requires you to run more than one thing. Telegraf makes easy work of monitoring all kinds of things and has a built-in StatsD server. Chronograf has a nice GUI for browsing through your metrics and can GROUP-BY and filter on a specific value with just a click or two.
