Hi Team,

I am trying to set up process monitoring for my infra(Process like: Kafka process , opentsdb process java process...etc) using prometheus. I am totally new to prometheus. Can you please help me out on this and please suggest some good blogs which i can follow for process monitoring.

Thank you

Kafka is a open source project written in Scala and Java. We need to scrape the monitoring metrics from JVM using JMX exporter.

Read more about it: https://github.com/prometheus/jmx_exporter

Shivali, nodeexporter from prometheus is a good option to monitor the processes.

Prometheus collects metrics via exporters. There are some exporters listed on https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exporters/

I recommend reading everything under docs to be able to get most out of prometheus (https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/overview/)

Cool. So you can try process exporter. Its supper awesome and monitors all your process running on your systems in great detail. I have great experience with this plus some really cool dashboards. I can help you setup this exporter. Just try it out and let me know if you need any contribution from my side. :)

do you have an example?

Can I monitor JVM/Tomcat process with it? Not use JMX exporter?

For JVM apps, the java client library or JMX exporter are recommended.

Node exporter can monitor all the processes running on a machine.

Just pass the commandline arguments as explained in the below link.
