About Prometheus
Prometheus is the de facto standard for metrics-based monitoring: it collects metrics from servers, containers and applications, stores them as time series and triggers alerts via the Alertmanager before an anomaly turns into an outage. With Managed Prometheus Hosting, you get this monitoring hub up and running – including the operations required to run the monitoring system itself.
Who is Prometheus suitable for?
Prometheus is ideal for IT teams and service providers who wish to professionally monitor their own servers, Docker environments or applications: system integrators with customer SLAs, software companies with production services, or SMEs with their own infrastructure. When used in conjunction with Grafana, it generates informative dashboards showing the status of the entire environment.
Prometheus Hosting in Switzerland
With OpenHosting, your Prometheus runs in Swiss data centres in the Zurich region – metrics are also operational data and therefore remain nDSG-compliant within the country. We keep the instance up to date, monitor the service and back up the configuration daily in accordance with the 3-2-1 principle (hourly under the Business Plan). Our team will assist you with connecting your exporters and setting up alerts. Managed Prometheus Hosting is available from CHF 19 per month.
