Yes, I have used Grafana and Prometheus together for monitoring applications and infrastructure. Prometheus collects metrics from various services, and Grafana visualizes this data in user-friendly dashboards.
For example, for a Python application, you can use the prometheus_client library to export metrics:
from prometheus_client import start_http_server, Summary
import random
import time
REQUEST_TIME = Summary('request_processing_seconds', 'Time spent processing request')
@REQUEST_TIME.time()
def process_request():
time.sleep(random.random())
if __name__ == '__main__':
start_http_server(8000) # starts an HTTP server for Prometheus
while True:
process_request()
Then, Prometheus is configured to scrape metrics from http://localhost:8000/metrics, and Grafana creates graphs based on this data.
