Just getting started with search for alternatives to Nagios.

Does anyone have any experience with bot Nagios and Prometheus?

Is Prometheus a worthy replacement/alternative to Nagios?

Thanks

Yes, Prometheus is a great replacement for Nagios.

It doesn’t work anything like Nagios, but it is intended as a full general use monitoring system.
