Prometheus scrape configs, exporters, recording rules and Alertmanager — metrics foundation for Grafana. Fixed-scope prometheus for SRE and platform engineers who need to see SLIs and alerts.
Prometheus Setup: the prometheus problem we actually solve
Most Prometheus Setup requests start the same way: SRE and platform engineers know the outcome they want but cannot pin down the monitoring scope that delivers it. Prometheus scrape configs, exporters, recording rules and Alertmanager — metrics foundation for Grafana. With a fixed scope, effort, timeline and sign-off stop being guesswork.

Prometheus Setup delivery method (Sky High prometheus playbook)
We scope Prometheus Setup before anyone builds: discovery maps the monitoring constraints specific to your setup, and the statement of work names the deliverables. Progress is demoed against your real environment, not static previews, so nothing is a surprise at handover. Work outside the agreed scope is a separate quote you approve before we touch it.
Pricing for Prometheus Setup starts around USD 3,800. The statement of work names prometheus acceptance only — observability / monitoring siblings are separate line items if you add them later.
Acceptance criteria unique to Prometheus Setup
You sign off on Prometheus Setup with evidence, not screenshots: a working config or deploy on staging or production, a runbook with named owners, and one metric tied to see SLIs and alerts that moved. A slide deck is not acceptance; a working, documented scope is.

When Prometheus Setup is the wrong buy
Skip Prometheus Setup if you only need a neighbouring monitoring leaf — those pages document different outcomes. Buy prometheus when prometheus scrape configs, exporters, recording rules and alertmanager is the blocker.
If you are already paying a observability provider, Prometheus Setup still fits: we take this scope only, or review what your current vendor shipped before you accept it. Same fixed-scope quote in 24 hours, no silent upsell into the rest of your monitoring roadmap.
