What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a complete guide to setting up Prometheus for comprehensive metric collection, storage, and monitoring, enabling robust observability for your infrastructure and applications.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Scrape Configuration: Defines how Prometheus discovers and collects metrics from various targets (static, file-based, Kubernetes SD).
• Recording Rules: Creates pre-computed metrics to optimize query performance and simplify complex expressions.
• Alert Rules: Configures alerts for critical events like service downtime, high error rates, or resource exhaustion.
• Use Case: Set up Prometheus to monitor a Kubernetes cluster, automatically discovering application pods and services, collecting their metrics, and firing alerts when predefined thresholds are breached.

Quick Start

Generate a basic prometheus.yml configuration to scrape metrics from a node-exporter running on node1:9100.
