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 38 more developer resources.

Open Source Surface applies to this provider. This product is open source and we read its repository directly, so Open Source Surface carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from what the repository actually publishes — a security policy, a contribution guide, a release history, a code of conduct — read live from the provider rather than inferred from our own catalog pointers. This facet adds; nothing was taken away to make room for it. An open-source project is not excused from the commercial facets, because exemption would strip it of the points it does earn. If we have the wrong repository, or this product is not open source, say so on your provider repo and we will drop the facet rather than have you publish against it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 80 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 20. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 80% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/prometheus: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

Arazzo 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.

ARAZZO

Prometheus Delete Series and Reclaim the Space

Preview what a selector matches, delete it, clean the tombstones, and verify.

ARAZZO

Prometheus Discover and Query a Metric

Walk from "what metrics exist?" to an evaluated PromQL result.

ARAZZO

Prometheus Expire a Silence Early

Find an active silence, inspect what it mutes, expire it, and confirm it is gone.

ARAZZO

Prometheus Run a Large PromQL Expression via POST

Evaluate an expression too long for a URL, first instant then across a range.

ARAZZO

Prometheus Purge a Retired Job's Pushed Metrics

Find a stale metric group left by a decommissioned job and delete it.

ARAZZO

Prometheus Push Batch Job Metrics to the Pushgateway

Publish a short-lived job's results so Prometheus can scrape them after the job exits.

ARAZZO

Prometheus Manage a Grouped Metric Group End to End

Push, update, verify, and tear down metrics scoped by instance-level grouping labels.

ARAZZO

Prometheus Chart a Range Query and Pull Its Exemplars

Validate an expression, graph it over a time range, then link the spikes to traces.

ARAZZO

Prometheus Reload Configuration and Verify It Applied

Trigger a config reload and prove the new configuration and rules are live.

ARAZZO

Prometheus Verify Server Readiness After a Restart

Confirm a restarted or upgraded server is healthy, past WAL replay, and running the expected build.

ARAZZO

Prometheus Silence a Firing Alert

Find a firing alert, silence it by its labels, and confirm the silence took hold.

ARAZZO

Prometheus Test an Alertmanager Routing Path

Send a synthetic alert and follow it through to the receiver that will be paged.

ARAZZO

Prometheus Troubleshoot a Missing Scrape Target

Work out why a target's metrics are missing — dropped, down, or never configured.

ARAZZO

Prometheus Take a TSDB Snapshot for Backup

Size the TSDB, snapshot it, and capture the snapshot directory name.

  note: 'Renamed from MCPServer 2026-09-03 (roadmap#247): the manifest self-describes as status: candidate — a tool list derived
    from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported mcp_server
    correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
