Prometheus
Server AppPrometheus 3.13 is the newest actively maintained release, currently at patch 3.13.1. 2 of 34 tracked cycles remain supported. The next cycle scheduled to reach end-of-life is 3.5, on July 31, 2026.
How Prometheus versioning, EOL & security support work
Prometheus uses major.minor.patch versioning and ships a new minor release roughly every six weeks, with patch releases filling in as needed. Ordinary minor releases only get bug fixes during that short window before the next minor takes over; a small number of minor releases are additionally designated Long-Term Support (LTS), getting a substantially extended window of bug, security, and documentation backports instead of new features.
Prometheus publishes security fixes and advisories through its GitHub repository, following coordinated disclosure as is standard for CNCF projects. Because only the current minor and any active LTS lines get backported fixes, running an older, non-LTS version means a newly discovered vulnerability won't be patched for that version.
