What is Time Series database?
A time series database is a software system that is optimized for storing and serving time series through associated pairs of time and value. In some fields, time series may be called profiles, curves, traces or trends.
How prometheus is good for time series metrix?
Prometheus is a very good tool for processing and monitoring time series data. This versatile tool can be used with Graphana, a statistics visualization, and anomaly observation tool. This tool can collect data from highly loaded servers, various IoT devices, complex data processing systems, and many more.
What are components of prometheus?
Prometheus is made of three main components held on a single server—a time-series database, a data retrieval worker, and a web server.
How prometheus works?
Prometheus scrapes metrics from instrumented jobs, either directly or via an intermediary push gateway for short-lived jobs. It stores all scraped samples locally and runs rules over this data to either aggregate and record new time series from existing data or generate alerts.
