  • The ability to browse Prometheus-compatible metrics via an intuitive, queryless experience using the Explore Metrics app.
  • Sharded query engine for 10x improvement in query speed; scalable compactor for unlimited cardinality, tested up to 1 billion active series.
  • High availability, durable storage, and support for out-of-order sample ingestion.

Optimize metric cardinality

Need to keep observability costs in check without compromising on reliability? Grafana Cloud Metrics’ cost optimization toolkit provides actionable insights so you can manage metric cardinality and usage.

  • Visualize high cardinality metrics and labels with out-of-the-box cardinality analysis dashboards.
  • Track and attribute metric volume to specific teams, services, or products through usage groups.
  • Gain valuable insights to eliminate costly unused and partially used metrics.

Streamline your hybrid observability operations

Transitioning from legacy monitoring to cloud native? The Grafana Cloud Metrics backend supports multiple metrics formats, reducing time and money spent on operations and improving efficiency.

  • Best-in-class Prometheus metrics ingestion and querying performance and scale.
  • Support for legacy and proprietary metric formats like Graphite, Datadog, and InfluxDB as well as modern, vendor-agnostic standards like OpenTelemetry metrics.
  • Interoperability with any of these formats requires zero re-instrumentation of agents or application code.

“We assumed it would be an even bigger price tag for a hosted solution — until we looked into Grafana Cloud Metrics. When we crunched the numbers, Grafana Labs was offering to run everything for cheaper, and it would reduce the load on our engineering team. That was our ‘a-ha’ moment.”
