"Good!"
What do you like best about Prometheus?

(Fairly) easy setup when using pre-made docker images, or other premade configs. Wide range of exporters, and very light compared to some alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prometheus?

Annoying to have to manually search for exporters, as documentation can the scarce for some of the lesser known ones. Would be easier if there was an easy drag and drop 'module' system, maybe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
