Prometheus is a very powerful open-source monitoring and alerting system suitable for dynamic environments like in Cloud space. That collects metrics from monitored targets by scraping metrics HTTP endpoints on these targets.

Prometheus is capable of recording any purely numeric time series, for both machine-centric monitorings like Linux systems as well as monitoring of highly dynamic service-oriented architectures.

Prometheus server-This scrapes and stores time series data from client systems and applications. 

Prometheus server has been tested by Apps4Rent engineers and it works well on Ubuntu 18.04:

Features of Prometheus on Ubuntu 18.04: 

• A multi-dimensional data model with time series data identified by metric name and key/value pairs
• Single server nodes are autonomous and don't rely on distributed storage.
