Video - Setting up Prometheus and Grafana with Elixir

Underjord is a tiny, wholesome team doing Elixir consulting and contract work. If you like the writing you should really try the code. See our services for more information.

Alex Koutmos, creator of the PromEx library and buddy from the radio show gave us some of his time to help set up Grafana and Prometheus metrics for our application Noted. This was an extremely tight path to a lot of observability. PromEx is very kind to you as a developer. Leveraging the common telemetry API to make something really compelling. And then Alex has spent the effort so you get a whole bunch of useful default dashboards rather than needing to decide up front what you want. I thought this was quite the well-packed hour. Thank you Alex for coming on the stream to do this. And for preparing!

The branch is on Github as lawik/noted:prom_ex and the video is below.

Also available on the YouTube channel.

You can find more by Alex at akoutmos.com, beamrad.io and you can tell him how you really feel @akoutmos on Twitter. PromEx is prom_ex on Hex and that’ll lead you to docs and repo.

Enjoy the things I do? Sign up for the newsletter, I write more about Elixir, my projects and developer experiences there.

Want more voice? I talk about Elixir on Beam Radio and more about programming in general on Regular Programming.

If you want to discuss it with me, you can find me via email as lars@underjord.io or on Twitter where I’m @lawik.
