Mastering Prometheus by William Hegedus
Learn how to effectively implement, manage, and optimize Prometheus for monitoring your systems Key Features Achieve high availability with Prometheus by using Thanos with the help of real-world use cases Integrate Prometheus into your broader observability stack with OpenTelemetry Tweak, tune, and debug Prometheus to reliably scale without limits Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook Book DescriptionWith growing focus on observability and reliability, establishing a scalable and reliable monitoring environment is more important than ever. Over the last decade, Prometheus has emerged as the leading open-source, time-series based monitoring software catering to this demand. Written by an open-source advocate and Prometheus contributor, this guide provides an in-depth look at Prometheus, covering best practices and offering insights into scaling, operating, and extending Prometheus, from small on-premises workloads to multi-cloud, globally distributed environments. The book helps you revisit the basics of Prometheus, before moving on to advanced techniques of observability and monitoring using Prometheus. You’ll find out how to deploy Prometheus on Kubernetes and achieve an HA alerting infrastructure in Prometheus. You’ll also learn to leverage Prometheus in your daily operations through alerts, Grafana dashboards, and building your own exporter. Finally, you’ll explore various open-source projects that extend the functionality of Prometheus, help with various aspects of running Prometheus at scale, and make the most of Prometheus data. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to confidently build, automate, and deliver your infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines in cloud-based applications.What you will learn Deploy Prometheus and Node Exporter to public clouds and Kubernetes Gain in-depth knowledge of how Prometheus's underlying code works Build your own custom service-discovery providers for Prometheus Debug Prometheus performance issues to identify cardinality issues in your environment Use VictoriaMetrics and/or Grafana Mimir for remote storage of Prometheus data Define and implement SLO-based alerting Who this book is forThe book is for site reliability engineers (SREs), developers, and platform engineers involved in the monitoring and observability of their team or company’s systems. A background in Prometheus is assumed, so the book dedicates minimal time to the basics of getting Prometheus up and running. Whether you aim to expand monitoring capabilities, streamline configuration management, or enhance integration with existing tools, this book will help you maximize the potential of your Prometheus monitoring stack.
William Hegedus has worked in tech for over a decade in a variety of roles, culminating in site reliability engineering. He developed a keen interest in Prometheus and observability technologies during his time managing a 24/7 NOC environment and eventually became the first SRE at Linode, one of the foremost independent cloud providers. Linode was acquired by Akamai Technologies in 2022, and now Will manages a team of SREs focused on building the internal observability platform for Akamai's Connected Cloud. His team is responsible for a global fleet of Prometheus servers spanning over two dozen data centers and ingesting millions of data points every second, in addition to operating a suite of other observability tools. Will is an open source advocate and contributor who has contributed code to Prometheus, Thanos, and many other CNCF projects related to Kubernetes and observability. He lives in central Virginia with his wonderful wife, four kids, three cats, two dogs, and a bearded dragon.
