Prometheus

Prometheus is an open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit designed for collecting and querying metrics from your systems. With the Prometheus extension for Directus, you can keep a close watch on your Directus instance by exposing key metrics in a format that Prometheus can easily scrape and analyze.

In the context of data and content management, Prometheus gives you real-time visibility into how your Directus environment is performing. You can track everything from API request rates to system resource usage, helping you spot issues before they impact your users or your data workflows. This is especially useful for teams managing content at scale, where uptime and reliability are critical.

By integrating Prometheus with Directus, you gain powerful insight into your data platform’s health. The metrics collected can be used for detailed dashboards, automated alerts, and long-term trend analysis, making it easier to maintain stable, high-performing content operations.

Whether you’re troubleshooting slow queries or planning for future growth, Prometheus provides the observability you need to make informed decisions about your data infrastructure.
