Prometheus

Edit online

Prometheus is an open-source monitoring tool that collects metrics from various sources and stores the data in a time series database for analysis. Turbonomic discovers these containerized applications through the Prometurbo agent that you deploy to each Kubernetes cluster.

About Prometurbo

Prometurbo is an Application Performance Management (APM) agent that discovers entities and their corresponding metrics from Prometheus. Prometurbo leverages the Turbonomic analytics engine to provide visibility and drive actions across the entire application stack, thereby assuring performance, efficiency, and compliance.

Prometurbo deployment requirements

Prometurbo deployment methods

You can deploy Prometurbo through the Turbonomic user interface, OperatorHub, an operator, or YAML, and then enable metrics collection.

Prometurbo output

Prometurbo outputs application metrics in JSON format. These metrics are served through the REST API's /metrics endpoint.
