Zabbix vs Prometheus

Question

Hi AWS, I am trying to find a tool which will cover the monitoring for all the aspects in my workflow. I want to do it both on-prem and cloud and then I need to integrate it as part of CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions so that I don't have to do the things manually. The list is as:

1. System Metrics
2. Application Metrics
3. Load Balancer Monitoring
4. SSL Monitoring
5. Network Monitoring
6. Infrastructure Monitoring
7. Traffic Monitoring

Well I know that AWS CloudWatch service is very handy for all the above options when working in the Cloud world but I am trying to focus on the use of the tool which has been used for a long time in the organization.

Can someone help me in getting to a conclusion where I will find a better tool between Zabbix and Prometheus and do my POC.

Answer

Hi,

Prometheus is a modern solution to collect metrics. The best it works in K8s, but there are many different examples how to collect metrics from on-premise and cloud environments.
About automation, you will still need to configure scrapper rules and adjust them if your environment changes.
