Overview
Prometheus is a time series database plus tools to collect metrics to be stored in the database.
Target
Prometheus will monitor targets. A target can be a server, database, virtual machine, etc.
Pull vs. Push
Prometheus will pull metrics, by scraping the targets. The retrieval is done by invoking HTTP into endpoints, which are defined in the configuration.
