+Prometheus (An Open-Source Monitoring and Alerting Toolkit)
+
+Prometheus is an open-source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit
+originally built at SoundCloud.
+
+Prometheus's main features are:
+
+- a multi-dimensional data model with time series data identified by
+ metric name and key/value pairs
+- PromQL, a flexible query language to leverage this dimensionality
+- no reliance on distributed storage; single server nodes are autonomous
+- time series collection happens via a pull model over HTTP
+- pushing time series is supported via an intermediary gateway
+- targets are discovered via service discovery or static configuration
+- multiple modes of graphing and dashboarding support
+
+Groupname and Username
+
+You must have the "prometheus" group and user to run this script, for
+example:
+
+ groupadd -g 368 prometheus
+ useradd -u 368 -s /bin/false -d /var/lib/prometheus \
+ -g prometheus prometheus
