Hassle-Free Prometheus on Bare Metal
Hassle-Free Prometheus on Bare Metal Monitoring bare metal infrastructure with Prometheus is notoriously challenging. Unlike cloud environments with built-in service discovery, bare metal deployments require manual configuration of scrape targets. Every time you add a server, you must update Prometheus configs, manage TLS certificates, and ensure exporters are accessible. This manual process is error-prone, time-consuming, and doesn’t scale.
In this guide, we’ll build a production-ready service discovery system specifically designed for bare metal Prometheus deployments.
