I've been experimenting with Grafana/Prometheus. Do people actually use this instead of Nagios/Cacti/whatever traditional monitoring system? Obviously it's very generalized, but I wonder if it's reasonable for alerting and stuff.

@crunklord420 Having worked with all of the products you've mentioned, what do you wanna know?

As for Prometheus/grafana, it works for simple monitoring stuff. If you wish to add complexity you can look at Prometheus its AlertManager.

@xyfdi do you think using grafana/prometheus is considered edge-case or is that normal use-case? I just checked and saw PagerDuty has integrated support, so I guess there's acceptance.
