Nothing to do.

Not ignoring this, I'm just not knowledgeable enough on current Prometheus to give an informed analysis. I really hope someone who's played with both recently chimes in - I'm as curious as you are.

As with any system, you don't really leave it if it does everything you need at the moment...so you're less and less informed of the alternatives and how they're doing as time passes on.

patch: command not found
Install the patch command with whatever package manager you use, for example in red hat it's yum.

Not sure what you mean. I am running Redhat and yum is installed.

I guess you're new to computers and the internet...
yum install patch

No I did not realize it was a package you where wanting to install never have installed patch

That worked thank you gormank.
Surprised that is not part of their install script.
