+# ZOS Monitoring
+
+
+ZOS collects data from deployed solutions and applications and presents data in a well known open source monitoring solution called prometheus.
+
+Prometheus is an open-source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit originally built at SoundCloud. Since its inception in 2012, many companies and organizations have adopted Prometheus, and the project has a very active developer and user community. It is now a standalone open source project and maintained independently of any company. 
+
+For more elaborate overviews of Prometheus, see [here](https://prometheus.io/)
+
+### Features
+
+- a multi-dimensional data model with time series data identified by metric name and key/value pairs
+- PromQL, a flexible query language to leverage this dimensionality
+- no reliance on distributed storage; single server nodes are autonomous
+- time series collection happens via a pull model over HTTP
+- pushing time series is supported via an intermediary gateway
+- targets are discovered via service discovery or static configuration
+- multiple modes of graphing and dashboarding support
+
+### Components
+
+The Prometheus ecosystem consists of multiple components, many of which are optional:
+
+- the main Prometheus server which scrapes and stores time series data
+- client libraries for instrumenting application code
+- a push gateway for supporting short-lived jobs
+- special-purpose exporters for services like HAProxy, StatsD, Graphite, etc.
+- an alertmanager to handle alerts
+- various support tools
+
+
+### Roadmap
+
+- ONLY for OEM partners today
