- Setting up the configuration file for Prometheus, typically the prometheus.yml file, defines the monitoring targets and rules.
- Start the Prometheus server, which can be initiated via the command line or by utilizing the systemd service.
- Access the web interface of Prometheus (default port 9090), where you can view monitoring data and configure monitoring alert rules.
- Deploy Exporters to collect monitoring data from various applications and expose it to Prometheus.
- Set up alert rules in Prometheus and configure the notification method for alarms.
- Monitor the performance and operational status of the Prometheus server to ensure that the monitoring system is functioning properly.
