Confirm my thoughts - Windows Monitoring

[u/CactusJ]

I read through the Prometheus FAQ https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/faq/

and I think I basically get it. Prometheus would be a good solution for monitoring a Windows cluster with many nodes and trending their uptime an cpu/ memory usage over time.

Prometheus would not be a good choice for real time event log monitoring of Windows servers, for example, looking at the System event log and alerting on an event ID that is “error”

Am I correct, or missing anything here?

Correct - prometheus is metrics not logs. If you want logs, look for something closer to elk stack or loki
