The number of OS threads executed by Prometheus is controlled by the

`GOMAXPROCS` environment variable. As of Go 1.5 the default value is

the number of cores available.

Prometheus by default uses around 3GB in memory. If you have a

smaller machine, you can tune Prometheus to use less memory. For details,
