Alternative to Datadog

Prometheus is a time-series database for metrics collection and monitoring. Its pull-based metrics model and PromQL query language enable infrastructure and application monitoring at scale.

  • Pull-based collection scraping metrics from HTTP endpoints
  • PromQL for powerful custom query language for metrics aggregation and analysis
  • Time-series DB with efficient local storage and high single-node performance
  • Alertmanager with condition-based alert rules and Slack, PagerDuty, and email notifications
  • Service discovery for automatic target detection in Kubernetes, Consul, and EC2
  • Ecosystem with thousands of exporters for Node, MySQL, Redis, and more

Built in Go as a CNCF graduated project, Prometheus combines with Grafana to build unified monitoring dashboards. It serves as the de facto standard for Kubernetes monitoring and a Datadog alternative.
