This is the code repository for Mastering Prometheus, published by Packt.
Gain expert tips to monitoring your infrastructure, applications, and services
With an increased 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. This book is your guide to scaling, operating, and extending Prometheus from small on-premises workloads to multi-cloud globally distributed workloads and everything in between. Starting with an introduction to Prometheus and its role in observability, the book provides a walkthrough of its deployment. You’ll explore Prometheus’s query language and TSDB data model, followed by dynamic service discovery for monitoring targets and refining alerting through custom templates and formatting.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- 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

All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter09.
The code will look like the following:
$ helm uninstall vmsingle --namespace prometheus
$ helm upgrade --namespace prometheus \
--version 47.0.0 \
--values mastering-prometheus/ch9/prom-values.yaml \
mastering-prometheus \
prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack
Following is what you need for this book: The 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.
With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 1-15).
| Chapter | Software required | OS required |
|---|---|---|
| 1-15 | Kubernetes, Prometheus, Thanos, OpenTelemetry, Helm | Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (Any) |
