Monitoring & Observability
Prometheus & Grafana Setup
Prometheus and Grafana are the open-source standard for infrastructure and application monitoring. Prometheus scrapes metrics from your services, stores them as time-series data, and evaluates alerting rules. Grafana visualizes those metrics in dashboards your team actually uses. We deploy, configure, and tune the complete stack on your infrastructure.

What We Deliver
A production-ready monitoring stack with Prometheus server (or Prometheus Operator on Kubernetes), Grafana with pre-built dashboards, Alertmanager with routing to Slack/PagerDuty/email, node-exporter for system metrics, application-level metric exporters, recording rules for pre-computed queries, and long-term storage via Thanos or Mimir.
Prometheus Configuration
We configure service discovery (Kubernetes, Consul, EC2, or file-based) so Prometheus automatically discovers new targets. Scrape intervals are tuned per target — 15s for application metrics, 60s for infrastructure metrics. Relabeling rules normalize metric labels across services. Federation is configured for multi-cluster setups. Retention and storage sizing are planned based on your cardinality.
Grafana Dashboards
We build dashboards for: infrastructure overview (CPU, memory, disk, network across all hosts), Kubernetes cluster health (pod status, resource utilization, node capacity), application performance (request rate, latency percentiles, error rate — the RED method), database metrics (connections, query time, replication lag), and business-specific KPIs. Dashboards are provisioned as code via Grafana's provisioning API.
Alerting Strategy
Alerts fire for conditions that require human intervention — not for every metric fluctuation. We configure multi-window, multi-burn-rate SLO alerts that detect meaningful degradation. Alert routing sends critical alerts to PagerDuty and warning alerts to Slack. Inhibition rules prevent alert storms. Silences are available for planned maintenance windows.
Long-Term Storage
Prometheus's local storage is designed for short-term retention (15–30 days). For long-term storage, we deploy Thanos or Grafana Mimir with object storage backends (S3, GCS). This provides unlimited retention, global query view across multiple Prometheus instances, and downsampling for cost-effective historical data access.
How It Works
