Prometheus
Purpose
Metrics collection and alerting foundation
Decision Summary
Production Ready as CSI's standard metrics collection and alert-rule engine. Local TSDB is single-node and must not be mistaken for durable clustered storage.
Field Notes
Authoritative official documentation reference normalized on 2026-08-04. Existing CSI classification and field evidence retained.
Backup Strategy
Back up configuration and rule files in version control; create TSDB snapshots for metric-data backup. Record retention and remote-write settings.
Recovery Strategy
Deploy from controlled configuration, restore a coherent TSDB snapshot if historical metrics are required, reconnect exporters and validate alerts.
Version History
2026-08-04 — Official documentation reference added/normalized.
