Set up Prometheus for comprehensive metric collection, storage, and monitoring of infrastructure and applications. Use when implementing metrics collection, setting up monitoring infrastructure, or configuring alerting systems.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Prometheus Configuration Complete guide to Prometheus setup, metric collection, scrape configuration, and recording rules. ## Purpose Configure Prometheus for comprehensive metric collection, alerting, and monitoring of infrastructure and applications. ## When to Use - Set up Prometheus monitoring - Configure metric scraping - Create recording rules - Design alert rules - Implement service discovery ## Detailed patterns and worked examples Detailed pattern documentation lives in `references/details.md`. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient. ## Best Practices 1. **Use consistent naming** for metrics (prefix_name_unit) 2. **Set appropriate scrape intervals** (15-60s typical) 3. **Use recording rules** for expensive queries 4. **Implement high availability** (multiple Prometheus instances) 5. **Configure retention** based on storage capacity 6. **Use relabeling** for metric cleanup 7. **Monitor Prometheus itself** 8. **Implement federation** for large deployments 9. **Use Thanos/Cortex** for long-term storage 10. **Document custom metrics** ## Troubleshooting **Check scrape targets:** ```bash curl http://localhost:9090/api/v1/targets ``` …

How to install
mdr add wshobson/agents/prometheus-configuration@sha256:e28770f8645d98ceThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260522.be57c0b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
