Facts

Traditional approach

• DIY style of scaling Prometheus is complex and requires a lot of effort to maintain throughout different teams.
• Scale is limited to a single machine
• Lacks data governance, resulting in all-or-nothing access to metrics
• Requires a lot of effort to deploy and maintain

Grafana Enterprise Metrics Approach

• Enables Prometheus-as-a-Service for large organizations running at scale.
• Centralized, horizontally scalable, replicated architecture
• Centralized access control and authentication
• Simple to deploy and maintain your complete set of metrics in one centralized, cost-effective way

Architected for scale

Grafana Enterprise Metrics provides a centralized, horizontally scalable, replicated architecture so you can easily manage and maintain your Prometheus implementation based on your specific architecture. Easily store application and infrastructure metrics in one centralized cluster, or across multiple clusters without needing a dedicated team.

Operations made simple

Simple to get started Grafana Enterprise Metrics gives organizations a fully assembled and configured monitoring stack out of the box so there’s no need to build systems from open source components Simple to manage Easily create and manage tenants and set up authentication for them with an intuitive API-driven UI. Simple to customize Best-in-class query performance means you can quickly create real-time dashboards that can be shared throughout your organization.

Global insights for the whole team

Run a better service with built-in global insights into how your teams use Grafana Enterprise Metrics. Quickly fix problems like cardinality explosions or query errors

• Is there a cardinality explosion?
• Where are query errors occurring? Control costs by weeding out series that are never used or inefficiently used
• Which series are most popular, and which ones are never used?
• How much storage space does each series and source consume?
• What’s the ingestion and query rate of each series? Find out who’s doing what, for security, chargebacks, and better service
• Where is data coming from?
• Which users are querying which data?

Integrates with your tooling

Grafana Enterprise Integrate with Grafana Enterprise to provide an easy-to-use UI to manage Grafana Enterprise Metrics clusters and tenants. Prometheus Integrates with your existing Prometheus ecosystem so there’s no need to manually edit and manage configuration files. View and edit your Prometheus-style alerting rules all in one place. Graphite Integrates with Graphite-based data ingestion and querying, so you can either modernize your existing Graphite systems or transition to Prometheus. Let your team choose the Graphite query language or PromQL.
