Prometheus is a free and open-source software for real-time systems and event monitoring and alerting. Originally developed at SoundCloud, Prometheus became a project of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation in 2016, alongside other popular frameworks such as Kubernetes. To start using Prometheus, you’ll need a solid understanding of all of the tool’s functionality.
Prometheus is an open-source tool that’s meant to monitor and collect metrics from applications. The point of this system is to make it easy for users to see and understand important metrics that let them know how well an application is doing. In fact, Prometheus is able to collect over one million metrics per second, and then store them until you’re ready to retrieve them.
When you hear the word "Thanos," your first thought might be the Marvel Cinematic Universe villain from the Avengers: Infinity War film who seeks to collect the Infinity Stones and end half of all life in the universe. But if you mention the word to a data nerd, you're likely to get a very different response. Prometheus is a free and open-source platform for real-time systems and event monitoring and alerting.
Kubernetes is now the industry standard for organizations that are born in the cloud. Slowly, many enterprises and mid-level companies are adopting it as the default platform for managing their applications.

Network monitoring is the process of looking after your network with the help of various tools and techniques. These tools that are often called network monitoring systems constantly track various aspects concerning your network, such as bandwidth usage, traffic, etc. This tracking is important in case of outages as these systems notify the network administrator immediately. Moreover, network monitoring systems are essential for status updates so that you can improve your system’s efficiency.
Network monitoring is critical to ensuring a business stays secure. Switches are crucial to the proper functioning of that network. Hence, continue reading about the ten best Cisco switch monitoring tools. Switches connect networks and serve as controllers that let organizations share resources and talk to each other for better productivity. Without them, organizations face crippled information sharing and resource allocation, not to mention unnecessary costs.
