Prometheus
An open-source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit originally built at SoundCloud. Prometheus collects and stores metrics as time series data and provides a powerful query language (PromQL) for analysis.
Prometheus publishes 12 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Admin API, Alerts API, Lifecycle API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Alerting, Metrics, Monitoring, Observability, and Time Series.
The Prometheus catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification, 1 JSON-LD context, and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
Prometheus’ developer surface includes authentication, changelog, CLI, documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, Stack Overflow tag, and 32 more developer resources.

Prometheus Admin API
Administrative endpoints for TSDB management including snapshots and tombstone cleanup. Requires --web.enable-admin-api flag.
Prometheus Alerts API
Endpoints for listing and creating alerts in the Alertmanager.
Prometheus Lifecycle API
Endpoints for managing the Prometheus server lifecycle including configuration reloads and graceful shutdown. Requires --web.enable-lifecycle flag.
Prometheus Metadata API
Endpoints for querying label names, label values, series metadata, and metric metadata without executing PromQL expressions.
Prometheus Metrics API
Endpoints for pushing, replacing, and deleting metric groups. Metrics are grouped by job and optional additional labels.
Prometheus Query API
PromQL instant and range query endpoints for evaluating expressions against the time series database.
Prometheus Receivers API
Endpoints for listing configured alert receivers.
Prometheus Rules API
Endpoints for retrieving loaded recording rules and alerting rules.
Prometheus Silences API
Endpoints for creating, listing, updating, and expiring silences that mute matching alerts.
Prometheus Status API
Endpoints for retrieving Alertmanager configuration, cluster status, and version information.
Prometheus Targets API
Endpoints for discovering scrape targets and their current health status.
Prometheus TSDB API
Endpoints for querying TSDB statistics and deleting time series data.

OPEN COLLECTIONArazzo Workflows 15
Multi-step API workflows described with the Arazzo specification.
Prometheus Triage an Alert That Never Notified
Follow one alert from its rule, through Prometheus, into Alertmanager, to find where it stopped.
ARAZZOPrometheus Delete Series and Reclaim the Space
Preview what a selector matches, delete it, clean the tombstones, and verify.
ARAZZOPrometheus Discover and Query a Metric
Walk from "what metrics exist?" to an evaluated PromQL result.
ARAZZOPrometheus Expire a Silence Early
Find an active silence, inspect what it mutes, expire it, and confirm it is gone.
ARAZZOPrometheus Run a Large PromQL Expression via POST
Evaluate an expression too long for a URL, first instant then across a range.
ARAZZOPrometheus Purge a Retired Job's Pushed Metrics
Find a stale metric group left by a decommissioned job and delete it.
ARAZZOPrometheus Push Batch Job Metrics to the Pushgateway
Publish a short-lived job's results so Prometheus can scrape them after the job exits.
ARAZZOPrometheus Manage a Grouped Metric Group End to End
Push, update, verify, and tear down metrics scoped by instance-level grouping labels.
ARAZZOPrometheus Chart a Range Query and Pull Its Exemplars
Validate an expression, graph it over a time range, then link the spikes to traces.
ARAZZOPrometheus Reload Configuration and Verify It Applied
Trigger a config reload and prove the new configuration and rules are live.
ARAZZOPrometheus Verify Server Readiness After a Restart
Confirm a restarted or upgraded server is healthy, past WAL replay, and running the expected build.
ARAZZOPrometheus Silence a Firing Alert
Find a firing alert, silence it by its labels, and confirm the silence took hold.
ARAZZOPrometheus Test an Alertmanager Routing Path
Send a synthetic alert and follow it through to the receiver that will be paged.
ARAZZOPrometheus Troubleshoot a Missing Scrape Target
Work out why a target's metrics are missing — dropped, down, or never configured.
ARAZZOPrometheus Take a TSDB Snapshot for Backup
Size the TSDB, snapshot it, and capture the snapshot directory name.
