Presenters Hervé Nicol Source PromCon EU 2025 🚀 Mastering Prometheus Rules: A Deep Dive into Rule Management 💡 Let’s be honest, Prometheus rules are essential for any serious monitoring operation. But let’s also be real – managing them can feel like navigating a complex maze. How do you keep them consistent? How do you ensure they’re actually working as intended? At James Swam, we’ve been wrestling with these questions, and we’ve found some surprisingly effective strategies. Let’s break down our approach and explore some best practices. ...

Presenters Bartek Protka Source PromCon EU 2025 🤖 The Trolley Problem of Metrics: Navigating Collection Resiliency 🚀 Hey everyone! 👋 Let’s talk about a surprisingly relevant thought experiment that’s impacting how we manage our data pipelines – the Trolley Problem. It might sound a bit heavy, but it perfectly illustrates a critical challenge in collection resiliency and how we’re tackling it. 🤯 The Trolley Problem in Data Collection The classic Trolley Problem asks: if you can divert a runaway trolley to save five people, but doing so will kill one, what do you do? In the world of data collection, we’re facing a similar dilemma. Imagine your data collection system – think Prometheus, OpenTelemetry collectors, or any other metric pipeline – is nearing its memory limit. You’re staring down a massive influx of data, potentially high-cardinality data (meaning lots of unique values), and you know that processing it could lead to a crash. ...
