Prometheus is a generic time series collection and computation server that is
|
|
|
|
|
useful in the following fields:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Industrial Experimentation / Real-Time Behavioral Validation / Software Release Qualification
|
|
|
|
|
2. Econometric and Natural Sciences
|
|
|
|
|
3. Operational Concerns and Monitoring
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The system is designed to collect telemetry from named targets on given
|
|
|
|
|
intervals, evaluate rule expressions, display the results, and trigger an
|
|
|
|
|
action if some condition is observed to be true.
