Prometheus Configuration

This is a practical reference for setting up Prometheus monitoring from scratch. It covers the essentials: Helm and Docker installations, scrape configs for static targets and Kubernetes service discovery, and examples of recording rules for pre-computing metrics like error rates and P95 latency. The alert rule examples are solid starting points for service health checks. What's useful here is the relabeling config patterns for Kubernetes pods and the file-based service discovery setup, which can be tricky to get right. It assumes you know what metrics you want to collect but need help structuring the YAML correctly. Best for teams moving from proof-of-concept to production monitoring or standardizing their Prometheus setup across services.

Supporting material availability

This catalog copy contains the inline guidance below, but does not include the following supporting paths. They are external prerequisites, not bundled files:

<support-root>/assets/prometheus.yml.template
<support-root>/references/scrape-configs.md
<support-root>/references/recording-rules.md
<support-root>/scripts/validate-prometheus.sh

Ask for the original supporting material or an existing installation before using a step that depends on these paths; this catalog does not identify a verified download source for them. Resolve each path relative to that installation, inspect its contents, and verify any applicable license and execution prerequisites. Do not run a command or claim a referenced procedure was followed until its required file exists. Do not fabricate the missing scripts or treat an unrelated file with the same name as equivalent. Independent steps fully documented here can proceed within the user’s authorized scope; report any dependent step as unavailable.
