It is straightforward to install and configure. We have to just modify Prometheus Yaml file to Monitoring our IT infrastructure resources like Servers, Network appliances, web URLs, and more.

It is very easy to integrate with monolithic and Microservice resource monitoring. We use it frequently every day to modify it as per our requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
