# Prometheus monitor

This section describes how to set up the Prometheus monitor, and view the data collected from the Prometheus server in the online and offline graphs.

In this topic:

## Prometheus integration

Prometheus is a system monitoring and alerting application that records real-time metrics in a time series database. OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering's Prometheus monitor fetches measurements from the Prometheus server and displays them during the performance test run in the online and offline Prometheus graphs.

For example, if you use Prometheus to monitor your load generator machine, you can select Prometheus measurements related to the load generator to display in OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering.

We recommend using the latest stable version of Prometheus when working with OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering's Prometheus integration.
