Labels can include information on the data source (which server the data is coming from) and other application-specific breakdown information such as the HTTP status code (for metrics related to HTTP responses), query method (GET versus POST), endpoint, etc. Each metric can be drilled down by an arbitrary number of key=value pairs (labels). Prometheus data is stored in the form of metrics, with each metric having a name that is used for referencing and querying it.

The project was open-source from the beginning, and began to be used by Boxever and Docker users as well, despite not being explicitly announced.

Specifically, they identified needs that Prometheus was built to meet including: a multi-dimensional data model, operational simplicity, scalable data collection, and a powerful query language, all in a single tool. Prometheus was developed at SoundCloud starting in 2012, when the company discovered that their existing metrics and monitoring solutions (using StatsD and Graphite) were not sufficient for their needs.
