Five Best Practices for Prometheus Exporters to Improve Productivity

In anticipation of the start of the "DevOps Practices and Tools" course, we invite you to sign up for a free demo lesson on the topic: "Alice in the Cloud: Adventures with Terraform and Ansible".



And right now, we are traditionally sharing a useful translation.


The guidelines in this article will help you implement Prometheus monitoring and improve your performance.

Prometheus is one of the basic building blocks of a cloud-native architecture. It has already become the de facto standard for monitoring Kubernetes. However, many third-party and cloud applications do not natively provide metrics in Prometheus format. For example, Linux does not provide such metrics. This is what exporters like node exporter are for . It's easy to download, run, and get hundreds of operating system metrics.
