Perses support for Prometheus

Perses is an open-source dashboard and visualization platform designed for observability, with native support for Prometheus as a data source. It enables users to create, manage, and share dashboards for monitoring metrics and visualizing data. Perses aims to provide a simple, flexible, and extensible alternative to other dashboarding tools, focusing on ease of use, community-driven development, GitOps capabilities and dashboard as code approach.

Here is an example of a Perses dashboard querying Prometheus for data:

Installing

To install Perses, see the official Perses documentation.

Using

By default, Perses will be listening on port 8080. You can access the web UI at http://localhost:8080. There is no login by default.

Creating a Prometheus data source

To learn about how to set up a data source in Perses, please refer to Perses documentation. Once this connection to your Prometheus instance is configured, you are able to query it from the Dashboard and Explore views.

Importing pre-built dashboards

Perses is providing a set of pre-built dashboards that you can import into your instance. These dashboards are maintained by the community and can be found in the Perses dashboard repository
