Prometheus
Prometheus is the metric backbone for most teams Antimetal works with, and it's usually the fastest way to answer when something changed. Antimetal queries Prometheus through your Grafana connection, so it comes online with Grafana rather than needing its own credential.
What Antimetal does with Prometheus
- Run PromQL queries to pinpoint when a metric changed and by how much
- Compare series across services to find what moved together
- Read alerting and recording rules to understand what your team monitors
- Establish the blast radius of a regression from the metrics alone
Connecting Prometheus
Prometheus is connected through Grafana. Follow the Grafana setup and Antimetal picks up Prometheus automatically as one of its data sources.
Prerequisites
- Prometheus configured as a data source in Grafana Cloud or a self-hosted Grafana instance
Follow the Grafana setup for whichever deployment you run. Antimetal queries the data sources wired into Grafana, so no Prometheus-specific credential is needed.
If Prometheus and Grafana run inside your own network, review the self-hosted requirements — Antimetal needs an HTTPS endpoint and a read-only token to query it.
Permissions and access
Antimetal reads Prometheus through Grafana using the same read-only credential. It issues queries only — no writes or ingestion.
All tenant data is processed in isolated environments. See security and compliance for details.
