Just kidding, this is looking really good, I hope to get some hands-on experience with it soon.

From http://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/getting_started/
> Prometheus collects metrics from monitored targets by scraping metrics HTTP endpoints on these targets.
I wonder if we'll see some plugins that allow data collection via snmp or nagios monitoring scripts or so. That would make it much easier to switch large existing monitoring systems over to prometheus.

Just last night I wrote the https://github.com/prometheus/collectd_exporter, which you could do SNMP with. I do plan on writing a purpose-designed SNMP exporter in the next a few months to monitor my home network, if someone else doesn't get there first.

#9I used to use InfluxDB + a custom program to scrape HTTP endpoints and insert them into InfluxDB before.
After playing around with Prometheus for a day or so, I’m convinced I need to switch to Prometheus :). The query language is so much better than what InfluxDB and others provide.

#10Announced here: https://developers.soundcloud.com/blog/prometheus-monitoring...
The SoundCloud announcement is a great overview, there's also a series of blog posts I did on http://www.boxever.com/tag/monitoring going into more depth with end-to-end examples.
