Implementing Hierarchical Federation With Prometheus
Prometheus servers are capable of monitoring a large number of applications and components. However, it does not always make sense to monitor everything with a single Prometheus server. Prometheus provides the ability to federate Prometheus servers, allowing high-level Prometheus servers to collect, and even aggregate, metric data from multiple low-level Prometheus servers. In this lab, you will be able to see how this works. You will configure a high-level Prometheus instance to collect data from multiple lower-level Prometheus servers in a single location.
