Prometheus is a free software application used for event monitoring and alerting.[2] It records metrics in a time series database (allowing for high dimensionality) built using an HTTP pull model, with flexible queries and real-time alerting.[3][4] The project is written in Go and licensed under the Apache 2 License, with source code available on GitHub,[5] and is a graduated project of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, along with Kubernetes and Envoy.[6]
