Prometheus and VictoriaMetrics
Monitor Prometheus and VictoriaMetrics
Reachability, targets down, rule failures and disk space, checked from outside.
If it goes down, it can’t tell you
Your metrics server cannot alert you about its own outage. Fivenines checks it from outside and tells you when something is off.
- Bad credentials or TLS show as a config error, not an outage
- If the targets API stops answering, the alert holds
- Works from any host the agent runs on
- Included on every plan
Watch the system that watches the rest
A second pair of eyes on your own metrics stack.
Reachability
Know right away when your metrics server stops answering.
Series and storage
Active series, storage size and version.
Targets down
An alert when scrape targets stop reporting.
Rule and notification failures
Failed rule evaluations and notifications that never left.
VictoriaMetrics
Free disk space, slow inserts and ignored rows.
Config errors, not outages
A bad password or certificate is reported for what it is.
Frequently asked questions
If Prometheus goes down, it cannot alert you about it. Fivenines checks it independently.
Reachability, version, series and storage for both. For Prometheus, targets down, rule failures, dropped notifications and WAL corruptions. For VictoriaMetrics, free disk space, slow inserts and ignored rows.
Monitoring stack unreachable, and Prometheus scrape targets down.
Not yet. They show on the host page and can be used in alert thresholds.
