    Setting up Prometheus Stack on Kubernetes

    Kubernetes monitoring is essential for maintaining application health in dynamic containerized environments. Prometheus collects and stores time-series metrics while Grafana provides visualization through dashboards. The kube-prometheus-stack offers a complete monitoring solution with service discovery, alerting, and predefined dashboards. Devtron simplifies the setup process by providing integrated monitoring capabilities - users can install Grafana via Stack Manager, deploy Prometheus using Helm charts, and configure endpoints to get real-time application metrics including CPU usage, throughput, and latency directly in the Devtron dashboard.

    Grafana Alloy, NEW log + metric collector replaces everything!

    Grafana Alloy is a unified telemetry collector that replaces multiple monitoring tools like Promtail, Loki Docker plugin, and cAdvisor. It centralizes log and metric collection from various sources including Linux systems, Docker containers, and system journals. The tool uses a component-based configuration system where over 120 different components can be chained together to collect, process, and forward telemetry data to destinations like Prometheus and Loki. Key benefits include simplified setup, built-in data filtering and transformation capabilities, and elimination of the need for separate collectors for different data sources.
