## Resource consumption
2021-07-07 20:16:24 +02:00
As Prometheus is a monitoring software that saves data in a timeseries database, it can take up massive amounts of disk space. Due to Prometheus design, a huge memory consumption is also possible.
2021-07-05 20:38:12 +02:00
To get started, a minimum of 3GB RAM and >=2.5GB disk space is recommended.
Keep in mind that those numbers can grow pretty quick for large monitored environments!
