Prometheus Storage Engine: TSDB Explained

Prometheus system’s storage engine is a time series database that uses a technique called TSDB (Time Series Database) to store and query time series data. TSDB is a type of database designed for efficiently storing and processing time series data, allowing it to efficiently handle large amounts of time series data and provide fast query and analysis capabilities. In Prometheus, TSDB is used to store monitoring data, including metrics, labels, and timestamps, so that users can query and analyze monitoring data at any time. With the TSDB storage engine, the Prometheus system can efficiently handle large-scale monitoring data and provide users with real-time monitoring and alerting capabilities.
