I've seen people say that VictoriaMetrics is more pleasant to work with. But, for sake of completeness: with Prometheus you have equivalent components in exact same number, places, with same data flow.

But also similarly you can set up Prometheus directly on a system, without any containers anywhere.

I believe they just assume everyone will just use grafana.
As far as working with vicoriametrics, the query syntax is very much like Prometheus, and concepts are similar.

TimescaleDB is "metrics in postgres" extension that grafana can read

@Viss
Grafana doesn't require elasticsearch unless you're doing very specific things.
And Prometheus is a central place, you install exporters for it everywhere.
You can push metrics to influxdb.
There's netdata.
Cockpit has some of that.

I'm not sure what you want, I know some/a bunch of tools, if you're up for some back and forth.
