Prometheus

Can I get metrics available through Prometheus into Azure Monitor, specifically into log analytics? (VM'S). I am running a couple of VM's inside Azure portal and I have my own private besu nodes running on them. I have my metrics set up inside the Prometheus but I was hoping to hook it up securely to Grafana but I tried everything and I can't. So the next thing is to see if can I get the metrics available through Prometheus into azure monitor, specifically into log analytics. The aim is to get the sync status, and the highest block number on each node, into log analytics so we can see what each is doing. That way we know, on a quick look, the status of each node and by extension, the condition of the private chain. What worries me is that although I have alerts if blocks stop being created or nodes lose peers we cannot see it quickly.

Prometheus is one option to give us those stats. If we can get data from Prometheus into log analytics that would solve the problem.

Can anyone help me with how I can go about it or any links? All I am seeing is for containers but I want for my VMs.

I am new to DevOps and looking for training in DevOps. Some institutes are offering Nagios while some Prometheus in their syllabus. Please suggest which one is being used in the industry and which one should I learn.

Hi All, We have Thanos sidecar and Prometheus set up in GCP and a Prometheus server in AWS. we want to push all the metrics of GCP to AWS. We will be creating a VPN link-up between them. But then how the GCP metrics would be connected with Prometheus/ Grafana.? I mean which IP to use it for this.?

Grafana and Prometheus together, running on Kubernetes , is a powerful combination. These tools are cloud-native and offer a large community and easy integrations. At PayIt we're using exporting Java application metrics using a Dropwizard metrics exporter, and our Node.js services now use the prom-client npm library to serve metrics.

We are looking for a centralised monitoring solution for our application deployed on Amazon EKS. We would like to monitor using metrics from Kubernetes, AWS services (NeptuneDB, AWS Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), Amazon EBS, Amazon S3, etc) and application microservice's custom metrics.

We are expected to use around 80 microservices (not replicas). I think a total of 200-250 microservices will be there in the system with 10-12 slave nodes.

We tried Prometheus but it looks like maintenance is a big issue. We need to manage scaling, maintaining the storage, and dealing with multiple exporters and Grafana. I felt this itself needs few dedicated resources (at least 2-3 people) to manage. Not sure if I am thinking in the correct direction. Please confirm.

You mentioned Datadog and Sysdig charges per host. Does it charge per slave node?

Hi, We have a situation, where we are using Prometheus to get system metrics from PCF (Pivotal Cloud Foundry) platform. We send that as time-series data to Cortex via a Prometheus server and built a dashboard using Grafana. There is another pipeline where we need to read metrics from a Linux server using Metricbeat, CPU, memory, and Disk. That will be sent to Elasticsearch and Grafana will pull and show the data in a dashboard.

Is it OK to use Metricbeat for Linux server or can we use Prometheus?

What is the difference in system metrics sent by Metricbeat and Prometheus node exporters?
