Blue Matador vs Prometheus

Blue Matador vs Prometheus: What are the differences?

Blue Matador: An automated monitoring and alerting platform. For time-strapped, agile tech teams, monitoring tools are too manual. Understanding baselines, fine-tuning thresholds, and examining visualizations for defects requires significant time and toil. But unlike all the other monitoring tools on the market, it eliminates the need to manually configure alerts. After a quick setup it instantly discovers all of your resources, automatically creates hundreds of alerts out-of-the-box, and proactively notifies you of critical production issues; Prometheus: An open-source service monitoring system and time series database, developed by SoundCloud. Prometheus is a systems and service monitoring system. It collects metrics from configured targets at given intervals, evaluates rule expressions, displays the results, and can trigger alerts if some condition is observed to be true.

Blue Matador and Prometheus can be categorized as "Monitoring" tools.

Some of the features offered by Blue Matador are:

• Alerts with no configuration
• Easy setup
• AWS Integration

On the other hand, Prometheus provides the following key features:

• a multi-dimensional data model (timeseries defined by metric name and set of key/value dimensions)
• a flexible query language to leverage this dimensionality
• no dependency on distributed storage

Prometheus is an open source tool with 25.5K GitHub stars and 3.66K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Prometheus's open source repository on GitHub.
