Prometheus metrics scraping from Django application

Without configured metric scraping, Gunicorn and Django application performance data (response times, error rates, system load) remains unavailable for real-time monitoring and alerting, preventing proactive identification of performance degradation.

Configure Prometheus scrape_configs to target your Django application endpoint. Add job_name 'django_app' with static_configs targeting localhost:8000 (or your application port). Set up Grafana dashboards to visualize response times, error rates, and system load. Configure custom alerts in Prometheus for performance degradation thresholds.
