Instant vector - current value

http_requests_total

Rate of requests (per second over 5m)

rate(http_requests_total[5m])

Sum by label

sum(rate(http_requests_total[5m])) by (job, method)

CPU usage percentage

100 - (avg by (instance) (rate(node_cpu_seconds_total{mode="idle"}[5m])) * 100)

Memory usage percentage

Best Practices

最佳实践

1. Use Recording Rules for Complex Queries

1. 为复杂查询使用记录规则

yaml

undefined

yaml

undefined

Pre-compute expensive queries

record: api:http_requests:rate5m expr: sum(rate(http_requests_total[5m])) by (job)

undefined

record: api:http_requests:rate5m expr: sum(rate(http_requests_total[5m])) by (job)

undefined

2. Label Cardinality

2. 标签基数

promql

undefined

promql

undefined

AVOID: High cardinality labels

http_requests_total{user_id="123"} # BAD

USE: Low cardinality labels

http_requests_total{endpoint="/api/users"} # GOOD

undefined

http_requests_total{endpoint="/api/users"} # GOOD

undefined

3. Appropriate Retention

3. 合理的保留时长

yaml

undefined

yaml

undefined

Balance storage vs history

retention: 30d # Production retention: 7d # Development

undefined

retention: 30d # Production retention: 7d # Development

undefined

4. Alert Fatigue Prevention

4. 防止告警疲劳

yaml

undefined

yaml

undefined

Use appropriate thresholds and durations

for: 10m # Avoid flapping

undefined

for: 10m # Avoid flapping

undefined

5. Use Histograms for Latency

5. 为延迟指标使用直方图

promql

undefined

promql

undefined

Better than average

histogram_quantile(0.95, rate(http_request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m]))

undefined

histogram_quantile(0.95, rate(http_request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m]))

undefined

Anti-Patterns

反模式

1. Missing Rate Function:

promql

undefined

1. 缺少Rate函数：

promql

undefined

BAD: Raw counter

http_requests_total

GOOD: Use rate

rate(http_requests_total[5m])


**2. Too Many Labels:**
```promql

rate(http_requests_total[5m])


**2. 过多标签：**
```promql

BAD: Unique labels per request

{request_id="abc123"}

GOOD: Aggregate labels

{endpoint="/api/users"}


**3. No Resource Limits:**
```yaml

{endpoint="/api/users"}


**3. 未设置资源限制：**
```yaml

GOOD: Set limits

resources: limits: memory: 4Gi cpu: 2

undefined

resources: limits: memory: 4Gi cpu: 2

undefined

Approach

实施方法

When implementing Prometheus monitoring:

Start with Golden Signals: Latency, Traffic, Errors, Saturation
Define SLIs/SLOs: Service Level Indicators and Objectives
Implement Recording Rules: Pre-compute complex queries
Set Up Alerting: Alert on symptoms, not causes
Monitor Prometheus: Prometheus monitoring itself
Retention Strategy: Balance storage and history
High Availability: Run multiple Prometheus instances

Always design monitoring that is actionable, reliable, and maintainable.

在实施Prometheus监控时：

从黄金信号入手：延迟、流量、错误、饱和度
定义SLI/SLO：服务水平指标与目标
实现记录规则：预计算复杂查询
配置告警：针对症状告警，而非原因
监控Prometheus自身：对Prometheus进行监控
制定保留策略：平衡存储与历史数据需求
高可用性：运行多个Prometheus实例

始终设计可操作、可靠且易于维护的监控系统。
