Presenters Victoria Nduka Andrej Kiripolský Source PromCon EU 2025 Level Up Your Monitoring: A Deep Dive into Prometheus & Resource Attributes 🚀 Let’s be honest, monitoring can feel like navigating a complex maze. You’re drowning in metrics, trying to pinpoint the root cause of an issue, and often wrestling with convoluted queries. But what if there was a simpler, more intuitive way to understand where your systems are struggling? That’s the core of a fascinating project underway within the Prometheus and OpenTelemetry communities – and it’s a game-changer for anyone serious about observability. 💡 ...

Presenters Jorge Creixell Source PromCon EU 2025 🚀 Level Up Your Anomaly Detection: A Smarter Approach 🤖 Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Jorge, and I’m thrilled to dive into a new strategy for anomaly detection – one that’s designed to be more robust and, frankly, smarter. Let’s explore how we’re moving beyond simple threshold-based alerts to a system that truly understands the behavior of your data. 💡 🧱 The Core Idea: Bands Around Your Metrics The fundamental concept is simple: we create bands around your key metrics. Think of it like a safety net – we’re looking for deviations from the expected behavior. When a metric drifts outside these bands, we flag it as a potential anomaly. 🎯 ...

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 Attila Szakács Source PromCon EU 2025 Beyond Syslog: Unlock True Observability with Dynamic Logging Metrics 🚀💡 Let’s be honest – logging has come a long way. For decades, Syslog was the king, a reliable workhorse for transporting log data. But as our systems grew more complex, relying solely on Syslog’s basic metrics felt… limiting. It was like trying to understand a city’s traffic flow by only counting the number of cars passing a single point – you missed the bigger picture. 🗺️ ...
