Isn't this just how Prometheus works alongside Grafana? I've never used fly.io but I've used that exact setup with these two services.

- alexeldeib 4y agoI believe GP is commenting on fly’s integration. Fly comes with built in Prometheus scraping and prepopulated grafana dashboards for VM resources some connection/request metrics. I believe the value is that if you simply expose a prom endpoint, they’ll scrape it and you can use their grafana (or hook your own into their Prometheus). Nothing special vs vanilla prom/grafana, but seamless “no-ops” integration vs DIY.
- viraptor 4y agoCorrect. It's common for companies to have their own custom systems or specific agents, then build a very custom and limited dashboard on top. Fly.io went with "you know grafana and prometheus? yeah, we'll do just that". And I think that's perfect.
