I use Prometheus to monitor my infrastructure and applications by setting up targets for scraping metrics, writing queries in PromQL to analyze the data, and configuring alerts to notify me of any issues. It is great because it can efficiently handle large amounts of metrics.

The solution is used for monitoring the metrics of applications. The applications have multiple functions, and each function should be monitored. I contact the developer teams to add the solution to the applications. I also use Alertmanager. If, for a specific test, a required metric is below the expected rate, the alert manager will fire a notification to the users.

I am responsible for looking after the security part of my company, for which I received Prometheus from the operational and IT teams. I am not a direct user of the solution, and I am responsible for the decisions regarding the security part.

We mainly use it for server monitoring and exposing the metrics format.

In order to have a visuality from Grafana, we create the metrics using Prometheus. Prometheus pushes all these metrics to Grafana. After scraping all the metrics and plotting them on a graph using Grafana, then we used Prometheus as middleware for getting all the metrics from all our applications and infrastructure.

My use cases include monitoring, scraping logs from the Kubernetes deployment, scraping Kubernetes logs, and pushing it over the final.

Our primary use case is for the integration with Grafana to receive metrics. We use it as a pulling and a pushing mode to send information from applications to servers.

We use Prometheus to gather business and service metrics so that we can export and visualize them through other tools like Grafana.

We use all of the metrics of Prometheus as an indicator if something goes wrong with our own applications as part of our on-call service. We represent the data on Grafana because Grafana is tightly integrated with Prometheus.
