Sysdig's Prometheus monitoring behind the scenes

Sysdig has introduced a scalable, fully compatible Prometheus monitoring solution to address the challenges associated with monitoring Kubernetes environments as they grow increasingly complex and diverse. The integration maintains compatibility with existing Prometheus setups, allowing organizations to leverage their current investments in dashboards and query languages while enhancing enterprise functionality with features like role-based access control and team management. Sysdig's approach involves deploying a lightweight Prometheus server within its agent and using a combination of open-source technologies like Cassandra and Kafka to handle data ingestion and querying at scale. The company also launched PromCat.io, a repository for Prometheus exporters, dashboards, and alerts, to streamline the user experience and support community-driven monitoring solutions. Sysdig continues to evolve its platform to meet the changing needs of its customers, focusing on scalability, ease of use, and integration with cloud-native environments.
