Enterno.io vs Prometheus
External monitoring without infrastructure — vs self-hosted metrics collection
Overview
<p>Prometheus is the de facto standard for metrics monitoring in Kubernetes and Cloud Native environments. It is powerful, but requires self-deployment, scrape config setup, and does not check external website availability.</p><p>Enterno.io monitors your sites from the outside: uptime, SSL, DNS, WHOIS — with no servers, agents, or YAML configs.</p>

Three steps to migrate
Honest: migration takes some manual work — no "1-click magic". But it is three clear steps.
-
Export your monitors from Prometheus
Most providers offer a CSV export of your monitor list (URL, name, interval). Save it locally — you will upload it in step 2.
Help me export → -
Import the CSV into Enterno.io
Open /monitors → "Import" and upload the file. Enterno maps URL + interval automatically; you can adjust intervals to match your plan floor.
Open import → -
Cut over webhooks and DNS subscriptions
Point your alerting endpoints (Slack/Telegram/PagerDuty) at the new Enterno webhooks, then disable monitors on Prometheus. Run both in parallel for ~24h to be safe.

Prometheus + Enterno.io: complementary monitoring layers
Prometheus monitors internal application metrics (CPU, memory, latency). Enterno.io monitors external availability (HTTP, SSL, DNS, WHOIS). They complement each other — many teams use both.

Where Prometheus wins
Every monitoring tool has trade-offs. Prometheus brings its own strengths to the table — typically a longer market presence, deeper integrations in its native ecosystem, or pricing tiers tuned for a different audience. We surface the honest comparison so you can pick the right tool for your context, not just the one we built.
