Prometheus Server Deployment

Prometheus server is the center of the monitoring solution. It is responsible for:

  • Scraping metrics from exporters and Pushgateway;
  • Supporting queries through PromQL;
  • Triggering alerts to Alertmanager;
  • ...

Deployment

Let's deploy a Prometheus server:

  1. Download the latest tarball (we use Linux) from the download page;
  2. Decompress the pacakge and change into the directory;
  3. The configuration file is prometheus.yml, there is no need to change it for now since no export has been deployed;
  4. Kick started Prometheus ./prometheus;
  5. We should be able to access it through http://<Prometheus Server IP>:9090.

After getting a Prometheus server running, we can move forward deploying exporters and scraping metrics from them.
