[Question] How to give a alarm when prometheus is down?

[liuguoming]

Hi! I have three question and need your suggestion.

1. How to give an alarm hen prometheus is down?
2. Does prometheus pull metrics concurrently if there are many jobs?

Yes, metrics are pulled concurrently, potentially thousands may happen in
parallel.

You would alert about a Prometheus server being down by having a designated
Prometheus server, which monitors your other Prometheus servers.
You would have two of these. So they in turn can monitor each other. We
call this "meta-monitoring".
