Metrics Data Analyzation¶

The tools needed here has to collect the metrics, store millions of them in a time series database and allow analyzation.

Prometheus is a database with query and collection possibilities and can also alert on the metrics data. Alternatives are graphite or InfluxDB with Telegraf to collect the metrics. For visualization Grafana is used.

Prometheus will collect and store metrics data very often wo show them in realtime. Because there will be millions of metrics they should only be stored for a limited time (maybe 30days), but depending on space more is always possible. This will give you:

• detailed performance analysis
• realtime analyzation
• analyzation over time (short to medium timerange)
• alerts on critical data
