Alternatives?
There are some alternatives to Prometheus. One such alternative is InfluxDB that describes itself as follows:
An open-source distributed time series database with no external dependencies.
However, at the time of writing, cAdvisor is not currently compatible with the latest version of InfluxDB. There are patches in the codebase for cAdvisor; however, these are yet to make it through to the Google-maintained Docker Image.
For more details on InfluxDB and it's new visualization complain application Chronograf, see the project website at https://influxdb.com/ and for more details on how to export cAdvisor statistics to InfluxDB, see the supporting documentation for cAdvisor at https://github.com/google/cadvisor/tree/master/docs.
