Research on cloud-native monitoring system based on Prometheus

Abstract

With the continuous evolution of enterprise cloudification and digitalization, cloud-native technologies such as microservices and containerization have gradually become industry standards. However, the rapid iteration of microservices applications presents new challenges to system stability, putting pressure on maintenance personnel. This paper focuses on the open-source Prometheus monitoring ecosystem and designs a monitoring and alerting system that adapts to distributed large-scale cluster monitoring and multi-tenant management, providing an integrated monitoring solution for IT infrastructure, microservices, and containers. The system has been successfully deployed in real production environments by China Mobile Group. Through this system, maintenance personnel can quickly identify issues in business systems and provide high availability services.
