Presenters Jan Fajerski Source PromCon EU 2025 📉 Level Up Your Prometheus Data: Exploring Downsampling 🚀 Hey tech enthusiasts! 👋 Ever feel like your Prometheus dashboards are drowning in data? You’re not alone. Managing massive time series data can be a real challenge, and today we’re diving into a fascinating potential solution: downsampling. This presentation from Yan at a recent tech conference explored this concept in detail, and it’s seriously worth paying attention to. Let’s break it down. ...

Presenters Fiona Liao Source PromCon EU 2025 🚀 Unleashing the Power of Change: Delta Temporality in Prometheus 🤖 Time-series data is the lifeblood of modern monitoring and observability. But how we interpret that data – specifically, how we represent change – is surprisingly complex. Today, we’re diving deep into a fascinating evolution within Prometheus, spearheaded by Grafana Labs, exploring the concept of “delta temporality” and its potential to revolutionize how we track and analyze metrics. Let’s unpack this and see what it means for your monitoring stack. 💡 ...

Presenters Aliaksandr Valialkin Source PromCon EU 2025 🚀 Taming the Metric Monster: How to Find and Delete Unused Metrics in Prometheus 🤖 Let’s be honest – managing metrics can quickly become a nightmare. You’re collecting data left and right, building complex dashboards, and suddenly, you’re staring at a massive, growing pile of metrics that… well, nobody’s using. 🤯 This is the dreaded “unused metrics” problem, and it’s a surprisingly common one, especially for teams using Prometheus. But don’t worry, it’s a problem with a solution! Today, we’re diving into how to tackle this challenge and reclaim valuable resources. ...

Presenters Julius Volz Source PromCon EU 2025 🚀 Level Up Your Prometheus Monitoring with Visual Debugging! 🛠️ Monitoring your applications and services is crucial for maintaining stability and performance. But what happens when things go wrong? When a service suddenly stops responding, or a target disappears from your monitoring system? Traditionally, debugging these issues could be a frustrating, time-consuming process. But a recent presentation at a tech conference unveiled a game-changing tool that’s set to revolutionize how we troubleshoot Prometheus. Let’s dive in! ...

Presenters Gregorz Michalec Ivona Skorjanc Source PromCon EU 2025 Level Up Your Prometheus Observability with Automated PR Checks 🚀💡 Hey everyone! 👋 Let’s dive into a super practical solution for ensuring best practices are followed when users are modifying your Prometheus configurations. This isn’t a polished presentation – it’s a lightning talk born from a lunch-time brainstorm, but the core ideas are incredibly valuable. 🤖 The Problem: Manual Validation is a Bottleneck 🧱 Traditionally, when users (like those on your platform observability team) create new script targets or alerting rules in Prometheus repositories, the validation process was entirely manual. 🧑‍💻 This meant a real operator had to manually review every pull request, checking for potential issues. The challenge? This was: ...
